Another winner 100 word dash. Looks like someone forgot his cue. Now that is classic stage fright. A fun read and very funny, with a surprise ending.

I have to confess, this is one of the best 100 word stories I've ever read. It's not easy to tell a complete story in such a limited format, but you pulled it off beautifully! This one deserved to win!

I am laughing out loud. Like your other pieces I've read on here, this vignette is clever and perfectly presented. I've used up my six-star ratings this month, or I would have selected them here.

Comment from Rod A. White
LOL Me thinks ol' Jerry isn't quite cut out for acting. Seems much too nervous and distracted to be the next Mel Gibson or Tom Cruise. I suspect he may have even shite his britches! Bravo!

Thanks a lot, Rod. I am glad you enjoyed this one. Bob
Comment from LisaMay
Methinks this Girard has an overdeveloped 'startle reflex' and a short memory, not such good attributes for an actor having to deal with cannons. Yours is a very funny story about the things that can go wrong in the theatre.

Bob, this is a great flash fiction. It puts mine to shame (as well as most of the other ones I have read recently. Thanks for giving it new life so those who missed the first time get a chance to read it, my friend~Debbie

This one brought a smile. It reminded me of the old joke about the boy who's lines in the school play were, "Hark, I hear a pistol shot." Muffed with predictable results.

Comment from Earl Corp
That was a good twist at the end. I didn't see that coming and I was beginning to wonder why you had put a language warning on it. Thanks for reviving bthis one it was fun. Very nice job.

Congratulations on winning that prompt. The ending was funny and I liked your description of his lips, always a pleasure of reading your work, able to learn a thing or two.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hi Bob. I was interested in the "setting" of the story. The description of Girard was graphic and amusing. I laughed out loud when I read the wig looked like a "dead Pekingese." The last line brought another guffaw. Robert
