“I’ll never make this deadline.”

“What deadline?”

“The dialogue only story deadline!”

“Why can ‘t you make the deadline?”

“The posts say it’s February the seventh deadline.”

“The text says Due Sunday the 31st January 2010 at 11:59.”

“Yes, but that was Sunday, it’s probably just they didn’t update that part…. What are you doing?”

“I will make that deadline! I think I have figured out how to go back to it with this flix-thingy.

“Ok, you are never ever watching old movies before you go to bed at night again. The message posts clearly state the new date as the seventh. No matter what the top portion says. What are you doing?”

“Here, hold this, banana peel. I will meet this deadline if it’s that last thing I do! Ugh, ok maybe I don’t have this stupid flex, flix, or whatever, thing figured out.”

“You know you could just send an email to the person who posted the contest.”

“Where would the fun be in that? I want to be able to meet every single requirement.”

“What by messing up a car. Don’t you think a simple email would clear up the deadline issue.”

“Well, you might be right. Though sending an email is not quite as much fun as trying to build a time machine.”

“You are really going to blow up the car. You, know that don’t you!”

“Oh have a little faith in me.”

“Ok, so If I can fix your problem with the deadline you promise me you will leave our car alone and stop messing with electricity and garbage?”

“Well, Ok, if you really think you can send one little email and straighten this up, I’ll give you a day.”

“I’ll send the email you big chicken!”


***Won 3rd place in Dialogue 500 contest - for the week of 2/7/10.
