Best way to go about selling a stock?

I currently own one share in a company. Yep, one. I got it as a gift a few years ago and could use some cash right now so what would be the fast and most inexpensive way to sell it? As a side note I have no exp. in the investing world, so dumb down any lingo for me.

Update:

Edit: I'd be looking for a one-and-done type scenario too, no long term brokerage commitment. I just wanna sell the thing and be done.

Update 2:

I have the paper version, and the price is fluctuating around $95/share currently.

    just one question, where is your share? is it a piece of paper in your vault, or is it on a digital account at a bank?

    if the latter, contact your bank about sellingi t.

    if the first. go to a bank that you know trades stocks and speak to a deskclerk

    how do you own 1 share? do you have the paper version, or did you open up a broker account and someone gave you the money to buy one share? what type of account?

    One price of one share would probably not cover the commission charge.

    Contact investor relations at the company; you might be due some dividend payments. also, a buyback program might be place.
