Short Shorts and NPR

NPR has announced a new feature called "Three-Minute Fiction." It's pretty much just what it sounds like; they're looking for works of fiction that can be read on air in the span of three minutes (they suggest 500 words or less). So I thought to myself, Hey, I know some people who have short shorts (the microfiction, not the clothing--though more power to you either way). Here's a link to a longer description of the feature: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105685925 The deadline is July 18th.
