Victoria’s rib cage constricted around her lungs as she pushed through the front door of the club. She was instantly assaulted by saw dust, stripped wire casing, and discarded fast food bags littering her club. Even the progress on the rebuild didn’t calm her. It felt like things in her life were really getting out of control and deep in her head she so hated to be out of control. She couldn’t admit it to herself but she had a control freak inside.

Solid hits make their bones rattle
As Warriors wage a modern battle

Defensive struggles are the best
As teams confront a brutal test

A solid body slams into him like a speeding car
An impossible throw is caught by a rising star

The ball snaps and flies to the quarterback’s keep,
Pass, catch, run for the yards, TOUCHDOWN, time for a Lambeau Leap!

Exquisite Corpse is hosted by Before I am Famous.

INT. MAIN TREATMENT AREA — MOMENTS LATER

               Jane and the Lead walk to the main treatment area.  A woman
               sits in the corner.  As Jane approaches, the woman’s head
               turns.  It is Alex the server girl.
