1ST AVENUE ANNIE

1st AVENUE ANNIE

Another Twisted Tale from the Files of the 

Second Chance Limousine Service

WANNA TAKE A RIDE?

Who was '1st Avenue Annie'? The following few lines from one of the pages will give you a hint. In this scene a blogger, Dave Hall, is interviewing John, a young musician who penned a song about Annie:

Hall jotted down some more notes. “Ever talk with her? You know. Get her story?”

“A little, yeah. I know she wanted to be an actress.”

“Oh, that’s good,” Hall said with a grin. He made another note and muttered to himself. “Aspiring young actress ends up a worn out old hooker. Yeah, that’s good.”

Of course things are never quite that simple. This is, after all, another Twisted Tale From The Files Of The Second Chance Limousine Service. As one pre-publication reviewer (J. Monson) said:

"The intriguing aspect of these stories is that most of us, at some time or another, wish we could have a second chance to change some situation in our life. It's the unintended consequences of these second chance scenarios that make the series so intriguing and so ultimately compelling."

1ST AVENUE ANNIE (novelette, 10,000 words) - A wanna-be actress, with a life full of baggage, finally gets a shot at the big time. The stage is set, the curtain is about to go up, the audience is buzzing with anticipation. What could possibly go wrong?

In this twisted tale, the Second Chance Limousine pulls up at a critical moment in Annie's life and nothing will ever be the same again, for better or for worse –– not for Annie or for those around her.

To be an actress

Was her desire

But her life was stuck

In muck and mire.

Then one day

By chance or fate

She got the call

And none too late.

Now after all

These days and nights

At last her name

Was up in lights.

Then envy raised

Its ugly head

And Annie's dream

Was all but dead.

Now she's out

On darkened streets

Turning tricks

On dirty sheets.

But a second chance

Could reverse her role

And light up her dark

And defeated soul.

Will she succeed?

Or will she fail?

It's all revealed

In this twisted tale.
