From the Balcony--Wee Challenge 21
I'm not given to lying to my husband, but I couldn't justify spending a buck-fifty on a ticket to see Celine Dion. He not only would have made me feel guilty about the expenditure, he would have busted my chops relentlessly about my sincere adoration of Celine. I can't help myself.
My girlfriend and I settled into our seats. Our vantage point from the balcony would afford us an unfettered view of each and every magnificent wardrobe choice and melodramatic gesticulation. I hummed with anticipation. As we scanned the crowd, Dawn's eyes narrowed. She blanched. I followed her gaze to the first row.
My husband was stepping over the concert-goers in the front row, his hand lightly resting upon the tight ass of our son's gorgeous twenty-two year old tutor. They settled into their seats, front and center.
What the fuck could that little bitch possibly know about Celine Dion?

| Excellent twist at the end, you really have a talent for these short pieces. Don't know about the Dion ticket though, I'm sure they cost more than you've put there. They do in the UK anyway (Not that I'm a fan, I was discussing her prices with some friends earlier in the year). Top story though. |

| I love the tone of this, Nora. You have a strong voice. (I wonder if it carries to the front row?) |

hahahhaha...to the review below, a "buck-fifty" means 150...not an actual dollar and fifty cents *L*
nice story. nice turn, but you could *almost* see it coming. either way, the descriptions were great and the last line was priceless *L* |

Great little story here! But I wonder about ONE question:
How in the world did you get a ticket to see Celine for a buck fifty? |

Fun stuff. And the voice sounded realistic. I think you could get a bit more creative with dropping some of the cliches in the first paragraph, but other than that, original and witty.
