Quickie! This will be a phrase prompt.

I've never done a quickie before (wait.....well, I haven't *judged* a quickie before). I will post the phrase prompt after 10 entries or at 8:45 pm EST. The picture is related and is given as a hint and for your amusement. The prompt will go here:

"past due"

Any form, any style
If you enter a pre-write, please be sure it is related to the prompt
-if it is not I will remove and send you a nice note
Label appropriately
