This is too funny. I think we all have had stage fright in one form or other. This might take that event to a new level. The details and images were clear and made for a fun read. Good luck with the contest. ann

This is very well written with a humorous overtone. Nervosness can put us into some very unusual situations. Good luck in your contest.

Well written. I liked your use of description in this story. I felt like I could picture the character. I didn't notice any problems with the writing. Good job.

Stage fright, (hehe). This is an interesting little story, you set up the scene well.
It's so true that even when you know something is going to happen you still get caught off guard.
A good read.
Good luck in the contest.

Well there's no accounting for what comes out of your mouth when you're scared to death. I laughed really hard at this one. Great job.

Plenty of information in so many words and you have achieved the contests rules perfectly. Loved the last line. At first was not sure about the language but decided that is exactly what i would have said. Very good luck in the contest.

This is great.... And, very funny......
I love the imagery of pictures that your words paint....
(the seven hundred dollar wig hurled in a corner)
(thin, papery, color of wet cement)
(grim stages of chemotherapy)
But, the last line is the clincher! Short and SWEET!
Very creative....
Just love it! Bryan

Hi Author,

This is so funny I about fell of my chair laughing. I had the lead in the senior play, when I was in school, and I remember my friend who had stage fright so bad she kept throwing up. She didn't even have a speaking part...just a walk on! Good luck in the contest.....chey

Hey, what a great micro fiction!
Meets all the criteria, and with a hilarious pay off.
Nice little touches, like the wig and the Napoleonic drama - all the more incongruous for the curse.
I see this is doing well in the voting. Well deserved.
Sally
