• My Panic Beta Sign-Up Short Story

  2 years ago

  So, Panic are recruiting beta testers for a truck-related product.

  But what is that? A “Creative writing space”, right there in the sign up form? It’s too tempting: Here is my Panic Beta Sign-Up Short Story.

  The snow was falling and making his beard white, but he didn’t notice as he walked swiftly, almost ran, down the crowded street. “There’s still time,” he thought as he narrowly avoided running into a stressed mom with enough christmas presents in her stroller to obscure the baby. Maybe there is no baby, maybe there never was one. He had no time to ponder such questions.

  A gust of wind stole his hat, but he managed to snag it before it hit the ground, and he continued on his way. He only had a couple of minutes left now. The first snow of the season was almost ankle height by now, however the snow was not on his mind at all. He could not consider these things, not now, not with so much at stake.

  Finally, he was almost there. From across the street, he saw them take in the sign, but he knew he could make it. And he did.

  One minute before closing, he walked into Starbucks and ordered his five-adjective latte.

  When he was back outside, he watched the snow.
