Yes, it's time for another flash fiction contest!

Years ago, I loved watching pro-wrestling. Not for the action but for the sheer beauty of the insults hurled at the combatants.  My favorite kind of match was the "Loser Leaves Town."  Win, you get to stay in front of the home town fans. Lose, off you go to Boring, Oregon. (Yes, there is such a place)

It's been a while since we've had a flash fiction contest, and I'm leaving town this weekend (although I hope not cause I'm a loser, and NOT destination Boring!) so it's time for a contest.

Prize: THE CRONING by Laird Barron. If you're a total wuss about scary books (and this is well-shelved in dark/horror/scary as hell) we'll find you another book.

Contest opens tomorrow, Friday, May 4 at 4pm.
It runs through Sunday, May 6, at 7am.

Usual rules: write a story using 100 or fewer words. Post the story in the comments column of THIS blog post (comments are closed till Friday 5/4)  If you need a mulligan, delete and repost.  Only ONE entry per person is official.

Include the following words in your story:

double
trouble
bubble
twin
spin

sorry for the delayed opening: I'm at a conference and time got away from me.

ENTER now! oh rats, contest closed at 7:00am on 5/6
