Weekly Contest #341
I tap on the RING doorbell outside the home. She had given me the passcode, but it’s saved in my notes on my phone, which is clinging to my left thigh inside my jeans pocket. Which I can’t get to because my hands are full of the bags that I refused to let the Lyft driver help me with. The act of fraudulent chivalry was more than I could bear after experiencing a twenty-minute flirting session with him on the way from the airport. I already had to remind him several times to keep his eye on the road on the way over. His stealing a look throu...

(Contains references to the flood that occurred in Kerrville this summer) The banks still haven’t returned to their normal selves since the waters rose and came rushing in.

For Kanar...

The interviewer was already on her third question by the time my brain decided I was done with the whole activity. Wasn’t all bad, though. The hotel suite the studio setup for the film’s junket, was probably the nicest I’d ever seen. At least the nicest I’d ever been able to pay for with my own nickels. My entire future depends on whether or not this film is a success. As part of the marketing strategy, we only need to cross about 15 million at the box to truly call it a success. It is an indie film for crying out loud, with a reported budge...
