The Kingston Wager by Josh Lederman - Short, Comedy-Drama - When Brad visits his bookie to pay off his gambling debt, it ends up being the most outrageous experience of his life. He learns that there is no such thing as a sure thing. 30 pages - pdf, format

Wow, this was a fantastic read!  Took me about 15-20 minutes to read the whole thing and I found that it fulfilled everything that I had hoped it was from reading the synopsis.  At times it was very funny and reminded me of an episode of Seinfeld when the guys were standing around talking about steak out of nowhere.

And then the thing that really clinched this as a winner for me was the final competition between Travis and Brad.  It went from a humorous scene to an intense moment in just a matter of seconds.  And the very final outcome left me satisfied and happy with the way the story turned out.

A winner all the way!
