And Then It Happened

AND THEN IT HAPPENED . . . . I remember being outside the building. I had good intentions for being there. I left my horse tied to a dumpster in the alley. There were so many decisions to make, so much to consider. My future hung in the balance and my fears were greater than I anticipated. I crept stealthily into the lobby, took the elevator to the tenth floor. And then it happened . . . . 9 March For the contest sponsored by Robert Haigh

Thanks, Line! It came quite as a surprise. I know you read parts 2, 3, and the finale. I wrote it more in fun than a possible winner in a contest but am flattered and honored that it placed.

Kinda sneaky, huh? I enjoy suspense and practical jokes. They seem to draw attention by their content. I'm always pleased to see your name appear on my screen. You are one of my most ardent supporters. I appreciate your interest in my work. Thank you, line!
