Yo all you creative bods.
This is my submission to the 'Get Shorty' competition.
'Tis a very novel and challenging remit,but a fine way to challenge habits and force us to get it done in a 60 second time frame.
What possibly could go wrong?
Make yourself comfortable,pull up a drink and pour a chair. (you can tell I've already done so!)
The scene is a bar,that fundamental bedrock of social interaction,mostly populated by folk well capable of finishing the job in under 60 seconds,especially as the evening wears to a close.
Man sees woman who looks like she prefers to be alone and he is on the verge of turning away when he is taken aback when she speaks first and sets the ball rolling. He tell the story...
The first time I saw you
You were nursing an empty glass
With a faraway look in your eyes
I almost walked away
And let the moment pass
But then you spoke and much to my surprise
You said...
May I take up a minute
Of your time?
Does your glass need something in it
Just like mine?
Does your heart have room in it
Can I ever hope to win it
May I take up a minute
Of your time....
