"Short Story Competition 8"

Right, it seems it's that time again.

No real rules other than 1 entry per-person, and try not make them too long, I don't want my eyes bleeding too much.

The topic is: Leech

Extra points for making it a nice story, but I imagine that most likely won't happen.

Anyway, have fun, you've got three weeks to get something together, so the closing date is 11th August.

Well, here we go...

I loved this story, the atmosphere was wonderful, it was very bleak and left you asking questions. The ending was also wonderful.

I'll admit I didn't get this at first, but after re-reading it after finding out it made me realise how well written it is. As ever with mattribute's story's, real emotions seem to have been poured into it.

I really, really liked this, an interesting perception of the topic and had a truly wonderful atmosphere throughout. It just felt real, painting such vivid pictures in your mind and had such character. The ending was just the icing on the cake.

Well done the winners, and everyone who entered. Looks like Grix will have the task of setting SSC9. The entries were all of top quality and were a joy to read. :-)

What was so bad about Grix's last title?

Nice one Grix, and the two other podium finishers.

Lets pray for a good topic from the Thravester.

It's never stopped you before :D

Congrats, as always, to the chosen three.

Congrats to all who got into the top 3 and everyone else who entered.

Grix has got the crown again. There were some quality entries. I didn't do one because I've been too drunk to write.

Oh and Grix, can you set a less crap title this time please?

Grix is the first double winner.

Kudos

mattributé gets his first podium position.

I'd like to thank my family, my friends and, especially, the academy for making this all possible.

Anyway, yes. I am quite pleased at this. Especially as I thought it to be quite weak. Hurrah.

Moaning about lost loves really DOES get you Kudos.

Right, I'll enter the next one.

Really.

No Ash? huh?
Grix did spin a wonderful yarn, though.

Quickly now, I need to write.
