Nit — Charles Brass

A little word is missing somewhere in Gina's manuscript, a nit two reviewers thought they noticed but couldn't find when they read it over again. In order to win an upcoming writers' contest, her manuscript must be perfect, but that nit could ruin her, so, off her meds and under the pressure of a looming deadline, her quest becomes a descent into insanity as she chases the elusive nit around her room with a baseball bat. Turns out there's another nit in Gina's life far bigger than a little word and much more susceptible to pain.
