The 100-Word Article

By Jesse Exum

I’m going to keep writing until I reach 100 words, not counting the title or “By Jesse Exum.” I wonder how many words I’ve written so far? Let’s see...29 words! I’d better count them again to make sure...Huh? Now there are 39! Okay, I’ll count them a third time...What the heck? This time I counted 51 words! What’s going on here?! I’m going to count one last time, and if there are any more words than the last time I counted, I’m not going to keep writing this! I’ll count now...94 words! That’s it, I’m stopping!
