I am participating in The Iron Writer Challenge #148. If you aren't familiar with the Iron Writer Challenge, it works like this. Four or five authors are given 4 randomly selected items, locations, or situations. They have five days to weave those four items into a coherent, 500-word piece of flash fiction.

I took the challenge and wrote the short story, "Standing Orders."

You can help me win the challenge by going to Click here site and voting for my story. It's right on the home page, you just need to scroll down a little ways to find my story. The voting poll is at the bottom of my story.

There's no money or prizes on the line, as far as I know, just bragging rights.

Go! Read! Vote!

If you like someone else's story better, vote for me anyways! Just kidding. :) Vote for the best story. But most importantly, read the stories. It's all us authors really want.
