"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.

2nd - Betrayal [URL]http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php?threadid=106231&forumid=423[/URL] - mattributé
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. :-)

make the leech metaphorical then.

That's what I'm doing.

Oh and Rickoss, is it ok if I use the plural for my idea?

leech eh? Sounds like some detective story (look sir, theres leeches growing on the body! perhaps we can time and date the day he died?)

Doctor story? (Quick brenda, get the leeches before the blood blow one of his arteries!)

Horror story? (Look out! that giant leech has got grimsby!)


Bah, i can't think of a decent idea with leech in it.

I want to enter, but can't think of anything to write about...

Ugh.

Plus, when I can't think of anything to write about, I write badly.

Meh, I'll enter anyway, bad or not. Writing is fun...

...when you're bored.

I'm getting something ...
Something new for me.

Should be fun.

I've entered mine.

Interesting ...

It isn't a strict subject, just base it roughly around that word.

Could we do a story inspired by "leech"? Like a different interpretation?

Or would you prefer it to be based around leech or leeches, etc?

Might do something. At least, I have some insane ideas for this thing.

UW.

Cheat all you want.

(not too much)
