Clyde Perkins has an idea in his mind and a gun to his head. If only he can convince the hitman who has been sent to kill him to give him a few more minutes to finish off his latest masterpiece, Brooding Folly. When all attempts fail, perhaps humor is the one thing that can win over the cold-blooded assassin.

Approximately 3,700 words.

EXCERPT FROM ALL AN AUTHOR NEEDS

“Evening, Mr. Perkins,” a voice came from behind the old man as he typed. “I’m sure you know what this is all about. Do you have any last words before I pull the trigger?” The man cocked his gun and pressed the cool edge of the barrel against the back of Perkins’ head.

“Yes, I do, actually. Many, in fact.” Clyde Perkins continued typing away. “I’m just a thousand words from finishing my latest novel, Brooding Folly. Would you mind coming back in a few minutes?”

“You can’t be serious.” He pressed the gun harder.

“Well in that case, I guess you can stay. But you’ll have to keep quiet. It’s hard enough working under a deadline, let alone with a gun to the head.”
