Trying to hone my skills.

I entered NPR's 3-minute fiction contest today.

The rules were simple: Submit a short story 600 words or less that must begin with the line "The nurse left work at 5 o'clock." Winner gets his or her story read on air by James Wood, literary critic for The New Yorker. And an autographed copy of his book, "How Fiction Works."

What I sent in was semi-autobiographical. If I win I'll link to it on the blog. If not I'll just post my entry here.
