It is Saturday Centus again and Jenny has a real challenge today...the prompt is "the lottery ticket" and we only have 25 words this week! For full instructions on how to play, go to: http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-centus-hey-wake-up-its-another.html.
His Ticket Out
He fixed his hair, applied fresh makeup, and touched his bulbous nose. He patted the lottery ticket in his pocket. Soon no more clowning around for him!

I like it! That's kinda how I feel about work too:@)
Great job - this was really difficult for me, but you nailed it. Maybe he'll buy the circus? Kat
You told us a lot in only 25 words! Great take on the prompt.
Really well done! I so liked this one.
Hi Claudia,
Clever twist at the end.
And thanks for the link to Jenny's blog. I took the plunge today and wrote a flash fiction piece.

Very intriguing! My mind is running amok with possibilities!
Cool. I love the idea of a ticket out and wonder what he will do when he's not a clown.
Namaste..........cj

Great story Claudia! I liked the play on words too, very clever! A unique and creative take on the prompt!
LOL ... and usually i dont like clowns, but this just made me laugh ... thanks for that!!!
Very clever. I especially like the word, "bulbous."
Thanks for making me smile.

Nice, a new life for the clown! Very cute
I loved this. At first I wondered where this was going. I loved that he was a clown. Good job.
Nice story. :-)
So glad he found a way out. :)
Claudia, such wonderful visualization in this little fiction micro-gem!
