Unbelievably funny. Joey must have been a young boy if he's trying that hard to see an actress take her clothes off. Congratulations on your win. It was well-deserved.

    just kidding, he was younger.
    Thank you for reading.

jmdg1954,

Congrats on your 1st place win in the 100 Word Story Contest. Your story of a teenage pubescent boy buying a ticket to view the same movie repeatedly every day is a universal coming of age story of when a young boy transitions from his natural disdain for girls to the moment when he can think of nothing else. Brilliantly done.

All the best,

Eugene

John, this is an excellent flash story, and congratulations on the win. It got my vote because your humor took the day. I could certainly see the kid in me thinking the same thing. LOL, excellent. Terry.

ROFL! Yes, I had to figure it had something to do with a Heavenly naked babe. And that something was getting in his way. Thanks for sharing your fun little read.

This is an excellent knee-slapper bit of humor. You cannot help but smile at the unexpected conclusion.

It is said that hope springs eternal. This little boy has been exhibiting it on a big scale. Lol

This reminds me of a book that I just got done reading. In one of the parts, certain people keep visiting the production for the nudity scene. The swimmer was nude in your story, too, and the boy wanted to keep viewing the same scene over and over again.
