Excellent fifty word flash Closer by pit viper Dribble Flash Fiction contest entry

She counts her drawer. It's twelve cents short. Across a dollar bill, somebody has scrawled "CALL 911". It reminds her of stars, how they're already dead by the time their light reaches us. She bags the trash, locks the door, and lights a cigarette on the way to her car. Author Notes My first-ever attempt at flash fiction, based upon my nights closing at a local sandwich shop.
