"THIS STORY OF 50 WORDS FEELS AS THOUGH IT RAN A LITTLE LONG, MAYBE BY 5 WORDS"
by Jonathan Messinger

There is little left for Connie to do. Her options: exhausted. Her headlights: dimmed. Her friends: silent. She lets slip her car keys onto the floorboard and neutralizes the gears. The dark car lacks her resistance, gains untold enthusiasm as it rolls down the hill. She thinks of no lovers.
