Johnny entered Station 51 and walked to the locker room.  Thankfully he was running late and anticipated the need to change into his uniform at home. He noticed a letter taped to his locker's door.  He sighed, removed the letter and slowly sat down to read it.  Recognizing the return address, Johnny ripped it open immediately.    He eagerly read the letter anticipating the news it would bring. Moisture formed in his eyes as he read the letter.  But his eyes couldn't hold the liquid and tears ran down his face.  Johnny cried.  This was the first time in untold years that Johnny cried.  Thankfully he was alone for the moment.

The Spring 2003 Contest

The contest is to write a story that contains this passage.  Why would Johnny cry?  Is it good news?  Is it bad news?  Your story can go either way.

The Prizes Grand Prize is a Squad 51 Hot Wheels toy, mint in box. 2nd Prize is a copy of the script Richter Six.  This episode was never filmed. 3rd Prize is a Bic Clic GREEN pen very similar to what Johnny used (see RM's reaction when I gave one to him!)
