My task: to write a story in fifty words, no more no less. How difficult can it be?

A story. With a beginning, a middle and an end. Simple.

So why then am I still staring at a blank sheet of paper? No, on second thought, I can’t be bothered.

Colin Douglas is 59 and retired and divides his time between England and Spain. His past is incredibly bland and uninteresting. He did tell me about it but… sorry no, nothing. It’s his future that’s interesting. He expects to be the first human to set foot on Pluto, assuming you don’t count Mickey Mouse that is, and has been approached to star in the movie about the life of Brad Pitt. Apparently.
