Ta da - Here it is, the winner of the 2007 Bulwer-Lytton bad fiction contest:

Gerald began--but was interrupted by a piercing whistle which cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as it did everyone else in a ten-mile radius of the eruption, not that it mattered much because for them "permanently" meant the next ten minutes or so until buried by searing lava or suffocated by choking ash--to pee.

The winner is a 47-year-old media technician from Madison, Wisconsin who claims to be working on a self-help book for slackers, "Self-Improvement Through Total Inactivity."
