Summary:I know, I know... I really talked some shite when this contest was first announced. Now I'm afraid I can't back it up. This always happens to me. Especially when it comes to athletics. I shoot my mouth off and then, once we get on the court (in the ring, on the field, or inside the lines) I inevitably get my ass kicked in. Still, I had to post SOMEthing. Right? So here's a brief chronicle of one American town's sad professional sports history. While I, incumbently, try to extract some measure of triumph from the jaws of futility.

Summary:I intended to rewrite a previously written short story, but this one popped out of the mind in five hours of intense writing that felt instinctual, as if I was drawing on primal fireside storytellers of our antediluvian, caveman and pre-NFL NBL television past.Chapters: |

| Selecting Dolly | helen grey | Short Story | Editorial and Opinion | 12 | 0.66 | Dec 9, 2011 |
Summary:At the time of the Basil D'Oliveira controversy I was ten... I had been born in East Africa and then moved to West Africa so it felt very close to home. I remember the total disbelief that anyone would do anything so clearly unfair. This is not what I normally write though, so I am very interested in feedback! For anyone not familiar with cricket - if you think of a 6 as being like a "home run" I think that would be close. A century (a batting score of 100) is brilliant and a bowler has to get as many opponents "out" as possible. The story is not really about cricket though. Whether it is a great sporting moment is also debateable - but it was great and it was sporting. It was a moment in history where an entire nation said "NO"!Chapters: |
