We could totally do that.

tigertrapped, nightdog_barks, and everyone who likes writing short fiction -- have you heard about this? NPR is starting a feature/contest for stories that can be read aloud in three minutes or less. As anyone who's read drabbles or microfiction knows, this is not as startling a challenge as the host expressed last evening on the air when he said, hey, who would have thought that you could tell a whole story in just a few hundred words? Still, it could be fun to see if anyone here makes it onto the show.

ETA: Reading the rules I've discovered that the contest is only open to people in the U.S. -- sorry about that to the Brits et al. Tiger, you would have taken it by storm.
