The Blow

He knew it. He was one strong jab away from winning the boxing championship. He thought about the money he had received to throw this away, about what the mafia boss would do, about his debts, about his wife and his two little girls.
Wham!  Knockout!  He won and lost.

PS: This was my entry to the Justin S. Morrill Mini Saga contest held at Purdue University. The rules of the competition were that the entry should tell a complete story in exactly 50 words. I did not win, but I like my story !

Thank You Princess. Anne Murray is one of my most favorite singers. Her 'Brokenhearted Me' always moves me to tears.

I'm partial to 'Just Another Woman In Love', myself. It could have been written for me. :P And 'You Needed Me'. That's stirring.
