STORY STARTER

Submitted by Norris Reynolds

Write a short story that stems from a no-win situation.

All choices are bad choices. How do your characters respond?

Lovers Duel

And here we are

Both with our barrels pointed at one another

Do I pull the trigger

Or freeze

With my life on the line

My wife

I do not want to hurt you

As the chairman counts down

Crack


We both had the same idea

Shoot the chairman

We will be executed soon

But I’m glad

That I could hug you one last time
