Short Story Competition 4

Ok, the topic is Secret Cheesecake. There's a secret second choice for the topic - check the rules.

It doesn't have to revolve around a cheesecake, it can be even so slightly brief. But it must involve a secret. Ordinary cheesecakes will not be accepted.

The Rules

* Make it as long as you want. Bare in mind if it's too long and too boring I won't read it. Just tell the tale, make it good.

* Put SSC4 in the title so I can find them.

* Don’t call your story ‘The Well’ - it's about a 'Secret Cheesecake'. So calling it.. you get the picture.

* I'd prefer you just did one entry, but you can do a few if you want.

* I'll be judging on the 29th of May as long as I remember to. You can post one that day and I'll judge it too if you like.

* Don't complain. This is my competition, and I'm taking it seriously. So neeerrr.

* BONUS GRIX RULE - If you find Secret Cheesecake too hard, then you can use extra super bonus topic number 2, which is - Secret Tunnel.

People using both topics will be commended, but it'll probably be crap to do. Those using neither will be laughed at. I suggest picking one, and I'd rather you used the cheesecake because I've always believed cheesecake has had an untapped potential.

Good luck. :) I'm looking foward to reading most of your stories. Anyone who gives the cheesecake legs, without good reason, I will mark down. Seriously. [EDIT: LIMBS. No limbs, whatsoever, on the cheesecake.]

And before I forget, in another topic:

Well, bizzarre and open are hardly mutually exclusive. :-)

Leave him be.

He was intruiged by the last one but didn't get an idea together in time. Besides, you should be encouraging non-preaching activity from him.
Sure, there might well be a cringeworthy religious twist somewhere along the story, but it's the creative spirit that counts. :-)

*tuts*

This one lies too much. So many broken promises.

Yeah - I didn't do that one. But I'll write this one.

Excellently obscure

i've taken this secret cheesecake thing quite seriously actually. spent half an hour doing half of it. it's particularly strange, style wise, but that may add to it's strange-ness. i shall reveal no more.

I have a question.

Does it have to be about a "Secret Cheesecake" or a "Secret" and a "Cheescake" if you know what I mean?

Where's that story you promised us before, FF?
It were lies then - all lies.

Hmmm ....
Cheesecake's a bit mundane.

...

I suppose that's where the secret comes in.

I'm going to write a story - right after church.
