"Short Story Competition 6"

... about time ...

Anywho, with much apologies, the next topic title shall be:

Dust and Flame

Okay? Not too restictive, I hope.
I feel like a really crap teacher up here - but you must obey!

yeah

---------------

Rules:

1) Put SSC6 in front of your entry, followed by the punctuation of your choice (a dash? or will it be .... a colon? the semi? who knows ... ) then your title. Call it what you will.

2) No word limit. Chances are that if I don't finish reading something, it wouldn't win anyway. Ahar

3) The closing date is Friday the 2nd of July - that's almost almost 3 weeks.

[and max. 2 entries per person]

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo.

Wonderfully innocent but haunting piece, simple style hiding something more complex. A great read.

2nd Place

Fantastic atmosphere and descriptions, stuck in the mind, tugged at the soul.

Bloody fantastic descriptions (some of the best) at start and end. Slightly lagging in the middle, but a well-deserved win for an epic story.

Special Mentions:

Every single other person who entered..
I was very impressed at the quality of entires (*snigger*) - there's not a single story I wouldn't read again. Tough judging.

I'll probably try to enter this one, as my exams will be over next week, but I can't promise anything, and don't expect it to be any good either :p ...

FFF, I'll have your head on a platter if you ignore my entry, you hear!

Heh. Now why would I need to suck up to such a perfect being as yourself, Mr. FFF, sir?

*blushes*

Oh, and you can expect my piece before the week is out...

Now that is a good excuse.
Always blame the writer, not the judge - nice plan.

Why would that be? If the first one was so god-awfully terrible you couldn't stand anymore? :-)

You can enter twice if you like.
But no more than twice.
And there's always a chance I might not read one.

Here's the deallie-o, I've written a story but it's immensely short.

I'd like to have the chance to write another one if I decide to, so I'll take it that I have that privellage.

Will really have to try entering this one. Nice title to go on too.

Got me an opening paragraph, I really like the topic but am finding it extremely hard to write something convincingly deep for it.

Meh.
