Extremely Short Story Contest - WITH A PRIZE


Hello Cheapskaters! Here's a fun challenge for you: write a 2-sentence story. In fact, I'll give you the last line:

"I will admit, quietly, that it was not a nightmare."

What do you think should go before that? It could be devastating, hilarious, poignant, tragic, silly. It doesn't have to be Paris-related. It doesn't even have to be SFW. The above photo is what inspired me, but you could take this in any direction your imagination takes you.

The winner will receive a postcard from Paris for each week of July from yours truly. If you live in Paris, I will take you out for a drink to the next bar I feature for the Paris Cheapskate Happy Hour. Email your stories to parischeapskate (at) gmail (dot) com by Friday at midnight. Winner announced Saturday. Good luck!

  5. It seems like a lifetime ago when everyone, friends over drinks, family and holiday meals, co-workers during the morning coffee, and even my barber during a trim was relaying their condolences upon hearing of my being in the middle of a divorce. I'll admit, quietly, that it was not a nightmare.
