Exceptional Your Last Big Shoot The Inaccuracy of Intention by Jay Squires Dribble Flash Fiction contest entry

Thirty feet: a comfortable distance for a 10-year-old; far enough for you to feel elation, yet not close enough to hear the muted splut of the BB against downy flesh, or to see your trophy flopping in the bloody weeds, trying to stand on the one leg you’d left it.   Recognized Author Notes Exactly 50 Words. Huge thank you for the photo by Sandra Granewald on Unsplash Sorry for this rather bleak image.
