The Last Shot
by Leann DS

Deep 75 words flash fiction entry for the Contest. I like the be metaphor of shooting hoops and shooting heroine. You did well with the flash fiction form. Good word count.

**Goose bumps** This is very powerful. Your use of juxtaposition serves its purpose as their distance sadly grows. I have to give this A+. They do not come easily. But you've earned it.

Hello Leann.

Life has become treacherous, and in many ways cheap, in parts of our society. In my day, two guys would get ready and "duke" it out. A bloody nose, knot on the head, or bruises were all that resulted, until the next round. The sad story is well told and I wish you good luck in the contest.

Robert

Hello Leann,
This is an excellent story with a great message.
The sad reality of life in many places.
The only problem is the contest says "fiction" and
your notes indicate it is true story, thus non-fiction.
Best wishes.
Robert

    Drat! Any advice on what I should do?

    Perhaps you have another story you could put in. You can edit at any time. Otherwise just take a chance the committee won't notice it.
    Best wishes.

How sad. Killed while doing something good for the community. Those gang members don't want anyone messing with their possible recruits. I'm so sorry this happened.
