Title: Five Birthdays Jack Remembered
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 1000
Prompt: A "five things" piece.
Added element: An alcoholic drink, a movie, an animal, a holiday, and a mode of transportation. One per section.

A/N: This was my winning entry for round 2.11 of writerinadrawer. I'm a little underwhelmed by it, but then, three out of the five pieces were light-ish in tone, and I'm in a bit of a dark-fic mode right now. My favourite thing about it is Jack's discussion of what it is to be female, and the fact that the starting line - "one more" - parallels the idea of "one more year", which I didn't realize until afterwards.

Well, as John Barrowman would say, I'm chuffed with this week's writerinadrawer results! I liked my story but had some concerns, so it's a relief to still be in, let alone win, considering we were down to six authors. I'm quite terrified of the next two rounds.

You should all go vote next week (new stories up Friday), since we're almost done!

These are my last two entries for writerinadrawer, and because I liked these ones, I thought I might as well post them.
