As one does of course! No matter how well prepared one is, a big cannon going off is never going to be expected. Virtually impossible to keep to the script. Anyway the knee-jerk reaction obtained carries far mor impact than the scripted waffle he was supposed to deliver. A wise director would let it stand.

Hi Bob,
Giving me the giggles today eh? This is just such a fun reminder of some of the work I used to do with developmentally disabled adults. You never knew what you were going to get... sometimes it just like that 'stage fright' in your story... and sometimes it would come out at the Christmas Pagent at the local church. LOL

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written hundred word flash fiction about the aspiring actor who screwed up his very easy audition in the first second of his only chance to get the role.
Congratulations on winning the contest.

LOL, too funny!!!
Sweet how you managed this in a few well chosen lines. That's the sign of a real writer. The words just come easily and fall to page in visuals so strong the reader cannot miss the intentions!!!
Bravo.

I'm sorry, but "what the fuck was that?" I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type. You just made my day, because I just got this terrible review but I get to give this good one. Thanks for the excellent read.

I loved the movement and how it starts serious only to end with a humorous surprise. My my. You gave me my first chuckle for today. I don't know If you very got my rating on the falling up stairs I'm sure I read it before maybe I didn't put the rating in . Oh what ever I'm on a roll now.
This was great.

Comment from E.P. Thomas
Bob,
A fine,comedic micro-story. I know how difficult it is to tell a story that makes sense in 100 wrds or less. I didn't understand why he hurled his wig in anger. I assume it was related to stage fright. Perhaps if you moved 'nervous and shaky' forward into the first sentence. Is Jerry a diminutive for Girard? I wasn't sure why two names for the same character were necessary. Nice, tight writing. I loved the final line.

Hi, g. Yeah Girard an dJerryare the same...He says Jerry to calm him down a bit. He throws the wig because he's frustrated just before he goes on. Some of this stuf has to be like a forgone conclusion in a story this short, E. P. Thanks..Bob
