My wife fancies herself a writer. She bought something called "The Writer's Block" which is a big book of ideas meant to get the creative juices flowing.

One of the anecdotes in the book was of a newspaper that had a story writing competition.

The competition is this:
You had to write a COMPLETE story in under 55 words.

Here is the example in the book (a winner):
Bedtime Story

"Careful, honey, it's loaded," he said, re-entering th bedroom.
Her back rested against the headboard. "This is for your wife?"
"No. Too chancy. I'm hiring a professional."
"How about me?"
He smirked "Cute. But who'd be dumb ehough to hire a lady hit man?"
She wet her lips, sighting along the barrel.
"Your wife".


I'll buy beer for the one I like most
stipulations:
1) you have to go/meet me in busan
2) you have until july.

You said it, in no words - just your gimace I caught, I made let it stand.
To cut a long story short, I know no more than I did. I'm still a stupid git.

To you, I let it all hang out.
