Pushing Skin

This is a short story about how hard it can be to try and get published these days and the lengths that people will go through to get ahead in the game. The premise is based in reality where people leave their benign to five jobs in search of fame and fortune in hopes that they can sell their story to an agent that awaits them in a Hotel lobby that will surely give them their break because their story is the best. Carpooling and pulling resources together creates teams and rivalries and pranks. Pranks elevate. How far will things go?
