The Guitarist
The Guitarist

A 100-word story

Whoever said, “the hits just keep on coming,” had never met Jimmy.

At 22, everyone was sure he was the next Dylan. Four years later, the ideas had all dried up, and the money had all slipped away.

He’d put away his old guitar, which had given him so much at first. It had failed him when he needed it most — no hits, not even the start of a tune.

But now, it was all he had left. So he gave it one more try.

And wouldn’t you know it, Jimmy found something special — a hit.

Life’s funny that way.
