A Day in the Life
of R. Kelly

Runner-up No. 2.

Prompt No. 7

Write a story that begins with a man throwing handfuls of $100 bills from a speeding car, and ends with a young girl urinating into a tin bucket.

“See, girl? Those bills ain’t nothin’ to me, plenty more where that came from— No, no, not in the bucket; I got people to dry-clean the upholstery! Shit.”
