Jeff Whitmore
He's the winner of San Luis Obispo's "Fifty-Five Fiction" annual short story contest.
Since I love numbers and words... this contest sounded so appealing to me, however since I have a full day today... rather than spending half of it dodging the things i need to be doing and coming up with my own fify-five word story... i will just re-post his winning story and call it a day :)

Her back rested against the headboard, "This for your wife?"
"No. Too chancy. I'm hiring a professional."
"How about me?" He smirked, "Cute. But who'd be dumb enough to hire a lady hit man?"
She wet her lips, sighting along the barrel. "Your wife."

Applause for that guy!!!
