The Trigger - Jennifer Baljko

Grip the handle with both hands.
Line up the shaft.
Aim for the mouth.
Take a deep breath.
Size up the competition.
Wait for the bell.
Pull the trigger.
Move to rapid fire.
Keep the pressure steady.
Watch the stream of water.
Hold the line.
Hit the mark.
Inflate the balloon.
Check out the other red balloons.
Stare at the clown head with the maniacal twisted smile.
Commit to winning.
Stay focused.
Exert the last effort.
Stand in glow of yellow flashing lights.
Walk away with 3-inch stuffed animal made in China.
Savor the victory.
Celebrate with cotton candy.

  1. A nice diversion for you! What I like about this is the way you stay in the moment - and don't tell us anything other than exactly what's happening. The effect of this is that you put us right behind the barrel of that water pistol, aiming at that clown. Very effective! Very good!
