Well, Brett, he got away with it did he not? Doesn't happen very often. Well, good for him as he was prepared to gamble with his freedom. But some are willing to take the risk. Great little flash, and good luck. Ulla:))

A very well-written flash fiction about Mark Jackson's get rich quick scheme that seems to work out well for him and there is no trace of his success story after the clean up of the explosion.

Very well written piece of flash fiction, but what I loved most was how the greenbacks "rained supreme," a double entendre on words and the value of money .this should be a winner!

Well, he did have a plan, followed through, and reaped rewards. So I guess he is an entrepreneur. Your words are well-chosen with good imagery. I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

You use your 80 words with precision and tell your story smoothly. Mark Jackson seems to have done his planning and used perfect timing. All that money flying through the air! What about passers-by? Would this have occurred late at night? He might have had competition for getting all that money. Great insight into what drives Mark Jackson. He doesn't want to toil in the underbelly of life. Best of luck in the contest. judi

This eighty-word story, Greenbacks, has the right word count and seems to create a scene where bank robber makes a less than quiet withdrawal and becomes a venture capitalist. Robber Barons loved by all.

I think that you wrote a great and very creative chapter in your story. I love the dialogue for the story it really fit the character and the time period. The action scene was really intense when the explosion happened at the National Bank. Great Flash Fiction poem!
