Bottoms Up (a 50-word story)

Although poor, the four friends still have fun. With a six-pack, a deserted parking lot lit by a full moon, a radio, and a dart board game, they have created a makeshift outdoor pub.

“My turn tonight,” Derek says, as he straps the dartboard onto his butt and stoops over.

Moonlit symphony
Meditative melody,
High fidelity.

Runaway

The rat scrambles. It runs toward the subway tunnel to escape its stalker, who keeps yelling, “I love you. Please don’t go.” Droplets of tears slide down the young runaway’s scabbed face. His world appears to crumble; he just wants something to care for since no one else cares about him.

Broad Terror

[In memory of 9/11]

A series of dire events . . .

Broad daylight
Turned dark
Nightmare shock
Impossible
Among the rubble
Heaps of bloodied flesh
Panic crash

Remembering the sorrow
Hope for tomorrow . . .

Criminal (a movie blurt)

Although flawed in different areas, the movie is still entertaining with action and an interesting concept—to transfer a dying man’s memory to a live person. Plus, the movie has an all-star cast: Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Costner , Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Michael Pitt, Alice Eve, and Gal Gadot. To keep the action going, the story consists of a number of spy vs. spy vs. international gangster scenes, with always the possibility of mutually assured destruction (MAD). High level, the movie is about a poignant love story mixed in with the U.S. government held hostage by a hacker who has found the means to trigger powerful weapons.
