uselessness's PRECISE MANEUVERS Challenge!

For those of us who aren’t down with acronyms, CCL means “Couldn’t Care Less,” and that’s probably how you’ll feel when I tell you it’s also Roman numerals for this, my 250th ficlet. (Yay!)

That’s right, it’s time for another challenge. Previously on the uselessness’s challenges show, we’ve seen some great shocking dialogues, desperate monologues, selfish allegories, and living descriptions. Today I’m looking for something new: precise maneuvers!

You know how the most frenetic, action-packed moments are also the ones where time seems to slow down a little? That’s what I’m looking for here. I want to see energy worthy of the climax of a Schwarzenegger/Stallone/James Bond movie, in 1,024 characters or less! Preferably told in slow motion, with attention to the smallest details of the action. Complicated acrobatics, amazing motor skills, that sort of thing.

Also, because I suck at judging challenges, there will be no winner. Just have fun. Sorry. :-P

Now get writing! We’re all on the edges of our seats!

Who is this Parker of whom the Hunting Beauty speaks? A secret identity revealed!? Entry done and congrats on the productivity. You’ve sure had some real gems in that 250.
[P.S. Once again, I go to such a dark place for a challenge. I’m beginning to think I really do need professional help.]

Kitty, I like it! Now that’s a mashup! Also, the cat’s out of the bag: Hunting Beauty and I know each other in real life, and my name may or may not be something like Parker. ;-)

Congrats on the 250. Nice round number there. I’ve entered an unworthy submission for your ridicule.

I was debating whether or not to post my challenge. Not sure if I met your guidelines, but I like that it could develop into something more.
Congrats on the 250! =)

An excellent challenge, though I would never expect less from you. In your honor, I’ve decided there’s more that can happen on the edge of a building.

I admit my entry is more of a mental battle, but I went with it anyway. Enjoy.

Hmmm. Not quite sure I exactly followed the guideline correctly, or at all really (bit of a problem I have…) but my entry’s submitted and I hope it works. Congrats on the 250, by the way.
