wee story #11-Laughlin's Music Man

"You sure you're up to this?'


He'd taken four pain pills. "Yeah.'


About bent over, Stella stopped him, "Let me do that." She rubbed muscle cream on his back, ankles, and tied his shoes.


He gulped the shot, tucked his shirt in.


Announced from the stage,"Laughlin's Music Man!"


He winked at Stella, 'See, it's magic.'

Loved this one - especially the ending, which is really strong; I can hear his voice and see that wink!

It starts in the right place, and gives just the right amount of detail along the way.

Only stumbled on one thing: 'About bent over', sounds like Stella, but I assume you meant the music man? If so, this could do with rephrasing (yes, I know - 60 words aren't much to rephrase with).

You do know you get extra points for combining both titles? Oh, no, wait - you get disualified for combining both titles?

Nah - it just makes you a smarty-pants.

Great stuff, Trace - thanks for taking part.

Cheers

Karen
