Andrea was inspired by 50 to 1's guidelines to actually write this little story.

More about 50 to 1 below:
In the course of human events it eventually comes to pass that one must make a blog. Glen has finally come up with the greatest idea ever born to modern humankind: an ezine that posts only 50 word stories and first line inspirational sentences that are meant to get the reader hooked into the rest of the story. By limiting the readership to these conventions we hope to liberate them from the terror of writing a short story or a novel and get more stories out into the collective unconsciousness and share the experiences that make us human. Any and all kinds of good stories will be accepted. We(I) update at least once a week and always enjoy reading submissions whether they are published or not. For more information see the submission guidelines.
