1 second of your life

Okay, so this is not EXACTLY going to take one minute on your life, but pretty close....

So, what I want you to do is:
Write a short story that will either make me laugh really really hard, or cry. Pretty easy, but maye it won't take you 1 second.... maybe like ten minutes depending on how easy it is for you to write.... ANYWAYS....

Rules!!!!

1. I am 12....
2. MUST be either really funny or really sad (THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE CONTEST!!!!)
3. No more than 400 words
4. Prewrites are allowed, but read back over it to make sure it is good for this contest
5. Write Pickles in your authors notes so I know you read the rules.... you don't HAVE to do this IF YOU ENTERED A NEW STORY!!!! If you enter a prewrite, go back in and edit your author's notes....
6. Got Fired!!!!



NOW GO WRITE WRITE WRITE!!!!
