City Beat Stories
by Dave Russell
genre:
Literature & Fiction
description:
These are stories I wrote for San Diego City Beat's Fiction 101 contest (the best stories under 101 words.) The first one won an honorable mention despite its stupid title. The second was printed without a mention of any kind. BTW, if you want to know what a pataphor is, consult wikipedia. That's where I learned of them. Also, Pedro Edelstein is the name of my chihuahua/dachshund mix. Everything else is purely fictional.

We sat in the park talking for hours. We were like two poker players trying to read each other. She said she was getting too old not to be in a serious relationship, betting half her chips. “Yeah me too,” I called and then raised with, “I suppose marriage is nice for some people.” It was a stone cold bluff. She went all in. “I want to start a family soon. I want a big family, maybe five or six, all girls. I actually have their names picked out.” I mucked my cards and walked away from the table.
