Mark Finn has stepped up to take part in the Clockwork Storybook 30 Day Writing Challenge. Mark has decided to pay one last visit to the Con-Dorks with One in a Million.
One in a Million
by Mark Finn
The Con-Dorks return for their third (and final) adventure together! Now that Larry and Holly are an item, everything should be peachy, right? After six months of steady dating, Holly decides they need to live together. DJ is no help–he just got his own apartment. Burt just started a new relationship with Holly’s best friend Linda, and Fred “The Turk” Terkington is, well, he’s the Turk. Holly’s friends aren’t much help, either. Everyone is trying to make it in the big city, and Rhonda is consumed with jealousy at how swimmingly it’s all going. She decides to hold a contest: if she can get one million subscribers to her webcam site, she’ll “annoint” one of her faithful followers with her, um, favors. With that kind of gauntlet laid down, Turk sees this as his chance to finally become a man. Unfortunately, with followers comes strange new abilities that Rhonda can’t quite control. With her godhood on the verge of emergence, another rival recalls his one-time champion for a final showdown with the new upstart and her high priest. His name: Stercutus!

Ha! I just lost a bet with myself that we’d get another (maybe final) Bowen story. Good to see the Dorks back though.
This is dork persecution.
And I for one am FOR IT!
