How do you react when you're cornered? Talk your way out, prepare for battle or insist you're just fine and dandy? Mike Baldwin's "Cornered" characters reflect the full spectrum of these reactions - all the while doing their very best to be taken seriously. From dark to light to blindingly brilliant, the results delight, amuse or even confuse - but it's well worth the risk. No one's ever lost an eye reading "Cornered" (aside from one reader who got WAAAY too close - you know who you are). In the end it's discovering the inconvenient truth of being "Cornered" that sets you free.

WAS THE NUMBER I WAS STANDING ON — I DONT KNOW OR CARE WHO ‘BETTY’ IS..
MY SISTER DIED OF AN OVERDOSE. THE ONE THEY ARE BARGAINING WITH TO STEAL MORE OF MY BACKGROUND, ISNT EVEN THE REAL SISTER.
THEREFORE THEY SHOULD BE AWARE THEIR — ‘INVESTMENT’ IN A STOLEN LIFE PLAN FOR A BRAND NEW BABY PORN PARTICIPANT. — IS PROBABLY IN THEH CRAPPER BY NOW.
SHE SOLD ICE CREAM IN THE LUNCH ROOM.
SHE PUBLISHED A SMALL VOLUME OF POETRY.
SHE HAD A CHIP ON HER FRONT TOOTH THAT WOULD BE DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE FAKER.
SHE ONCE CUT HER HAIR OFF TO THE ROOTS BECAUSE SHE SAW A PICTURE OF A MOVIE STAR IN A MAGAZINE WITH A HAIR DO LIKE THAT – AND IT LOOKED HORRIFIC.
SHE ONCE GOT THE DATE OF THE TWERP OLYMPICS MIXED UP AND WORE HER CLOWN COSTUME THE WRONG DAY. I WAS ON THE BUS AND WAS ABLE TO TELL HER THAT SO SHE COULD GO HOME AND CHANGE.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE EVEN THAT — FOR EITHER OF US.
HE LIFTED NOT A SINGLE FINGER TO HELP ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF.
NOW SHE IS JUST ANOTHER RUINED, BORING FEMALE WHO WAS ON THEIR LIST….
