Thank you mattribute for picking my story.

Here's the next challenge:

Out for Dinner

I'll allow two "entree"s per person. Laughing at my amazing pun will enhance you chance of victory

I'm not going to give you long, only until the 10th June, and I'll judge over the weekend of the 11th & 12th.

Special rule for Crossbob - (anyone else can adhere to this if they wish) - one of your characters must be called Mike.

Results

Many very good stories - and possibly the most I've ever had to read for a SSC.

I'm going to give this one to:

Asher for Out for Dinner

I thought it was a well delivered story, and I really felt for the main character as he returned to the place time and again from where so many happy times he had spend with his wife.

Runners up are (and in no particular order):

Ant - Late For Dinner
FFF - Desire
JFH - The Last Supper

Well done Asher - apologies for my initial warped analysis (tiredness + computer screens = mirages).

Yay, runner-up. Well done Asher, not sure if I've replied to yours (will do now) although I know I've read it, certainly a deserved winner.

In fact, I haven't participated in one of these for a while but I thought the overall quality of everyone's pieces was very high, and I plan to continue taking part in these to improve my skills, so keep going everyone. {:)

EDIT - Ah, I did reply to Asher's. Nice one. :D
