Story (100 words, per Microsoft Word):
Why had I hopped the dogsled in Iditarod? Dunno. I must’ve been (haha) barking mad; I was certainly freezing. Nor was I competing — they weren’t even my dogs for chrissake. But in the spirit of things, I shouted “Mush!” like you’re supposed to. Before the dogs could take off, though, there she stood: the Inuit woman in the seal-fur-lined parka. “Yes?” she asked, and seeing my confusion, added, “My name is Mush. And you?” The cops raced towards us — no avoiding them now. “My name,” I said, accepting my fate, “is now pretty much mud. Marry me, Mush?”
