The Ticket

I wrote this for a 100 word or less competition on CNET to win a camera. It's a bit hazy, but from memory it was in conjunction with the Sony TropFest when the theme was umbrella. Needless to say it didn't win.

Guy eating restaurant meal knocks water and salt shaker over. Goes to bathroom to dry shirt. Bathroom mirror is dirty, he wipes it cracking it.
It’s raining, leaves with friend and opens an umbrella while inside.
Wind blows a piece of paper into his face. He grabs it, a lotto ticket. while walking underneath a ladder, and black cat scampering past gets friends newspaper checking the numbers, wins 7 million. There is a bang. Closing scene, newspaper front page picture of friend with winning ticket celebrating, small article about deadly freak accident with picture of guy.
