"That he is", Makensie responded, paying her bill, and leaving a generous tip.
"See ya next time you're in New Yawk, Makensie Brewuh", the waitress said, in a heavy New York tone, at times.
"You got it", Makensie said, finishing her coffee.
Looking out the window again, watching the people walk by, she again thought back to last summer.
She left alot of things out, but that moment was what stuck out the most of that summer. The short time of being engaged to the most amazing man, and the fun they had together.
It was a summer of love, and hot, passionate romance. The wild, crazy times? Well, that's for another story, and might be too much for anyone to write about.
Chuckling at that thought, she grabbed her coat, and headed out onto the busy streets of New York, smiling at a young man who was hollering out,
"Getchur city news, right here! Step on up! City News! Getchur mornin' papuh!! Read all abouttit!!"
Full of summer memories, she weaved in and out of the people walking toward her, on their daily, busy hustle and bustle of life.

Way to immediately get yourself tossed out of the competetion Mak. Of course I know why you did it. After reading my entry you realized that you can't possibly win but you wanted to put something up and used that as an excuse for losing to me! ;-)
I challenge everyone out there to try and beat me, but this time try to stay within the rules! ;-)

Umm, just a friendly reminder, there is a 2000 character limit, that's one box.
Also as this is an essay about what you did last summer, it should be in the 1st person, not the 3rd person perspective. (I admit I didn't make that clear in the rules, sorry).
And thirdly, remember when I say "bribe" I mean cold hard cash, not just nice PMs.
Looking forward to seeing more entries!
;)

Um... is this a real contest? Or just a fun topic?
If it is a real contest, do we post here or make a new topic with our entry?
