Holy hilarious hybrid of Mad magazine and The Twilight Zone. Your voice of Jack Daniels is ssslurred perfectly. And come to think of it, being the last man on earth would really suck....after a while. This was nothing but fun and it shows. This and the fart in the elevator (and now fart girl) story shows that you have a flair for humor. Keep 'em coming.

Hilarious - you have an amazing imagination to have created this funny story. I almost cried with laughing at the 'Fart girl.' The complete story is brilliant.

Haha, shame, poor guy. But like a lot of mis-fortunes, he brought it on himself. This is well written with your unique brand of humour. A great read.

I'm on holiday in Wales, lots of mountains and good poetry fodder! I am catching up. This was a very amusing story, creatively written, with good humour. Characters are well drawn and the dialogue is very witty. Enjoyable read. Faye

This was a different way to approach this prompt. Well, I suppose I shouldn't say different, more like inventive, becuase I would have assumed that no one else exsistead, but this wfits the criteria. Well written piece that is very humorous and makes for a great entry for the contest. Good story and good luck with the contest.

Maybe, it was 'Putz' you heard, not Pulitzer. It's not a term we use in Oz, but it kind of fits this sad man. How would you be; lose the cpmpetition, have the tail served on a platter, and he can't keep up? Little wonder he was a saddo even in Millville, where all should be saddos. (Loved that town build up you gave). The cool dude line about astrological signs should have won many a lady, but he was too lame to even pull that off. lol. The humour rolls out; you give the genie in a bottle cliche new life; and you nearly win a Pulitzer. What a writer!

    Glad you caught the Millville build up. I thought that was funny! What a great review. Poor guy, worn out in a week. I could go at least ten days!! Thank you, mikey

Without a doubt a certain winner. A clever unique take. Funny as can be with laughs that don't quit. The names and dialogue are classic. The premise is fresh in a very old prompt. NG
