As the hands reach twelve on the Short Story clock, I sit and contemplate the title for the next Short Story topic.
The decision is made, the title, scrawled in bold below, is set.
Midnight
Ah. I see you think this may be easy. But the reader is looking for originality here. And so I bid you write, write me a tale I'll relish. And when the calender flips to 25th June, I shall read and decide on a winner.
**Update**
Stories will be judged TODAY! Anyone still wanting to enter has until later this afternoon while I read through the other stories.
***UPDATE 2***
Well, it was worth the wait, though maybe waiting for Meka to enter wasn't fair on everyone else (yes, it was all planned, Meka, that subliminal message you got to write a story and all).
Well, the winner has been chosen, and yes, it was the one that matched the subject matter in the best way, while still being original...
So, well done Meka, A Coachman's Tale won SSC12!
I loved reading all the stories, though, it was still a hard decision with the quality all these short stories provide.

Done.

Done.
Come on, it's such a wide open area, one word that can mean anything in any type of story, from being set during the war on a battlefield to a typical haunted house scenario and even during a chess game. The point is that you can build virtually any story around the word midnight.
I'm afraid the concept of 'Midnight' just doesn't interest me.
Seriously, where is everyone...?

Any chance of an extra week, pb?

Argh, I have an opening but it's not progressing at the moment.
I will enter something, I've just got to find some substance in it.

Come on. I know its sunny outside, but do you know what it does to your skin? Far better to stay in and write a story for SSC12 instead!
