Here is the new competition. Number 17. (We’re not all bored of this, are we?)
Anyway, the subject is Diamonds.
Anything to do with those sparkly things, which (apparently) are a girl’s best friend, very precious when cut right, and (according to Shirley Bassey) last forever.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be about ‘physical diamonds’ - abstract use of diamonds is acceptable, just as long as it features something diamond-like.
My rules are:
—One entry per person
—Closing date Jan 24th
--------------
Result
Some good entries, some okay, some not so good.
—FinalFantasyFanatic’s is the most amazing [and uses the theme the best]
—Surrealguy’s is the most evocative
—Meka Dragon’s is the quirkiest
—Clazon’s is the most storylike
—Rickoss’ is the most poetic
—arctic hobo’s is the darkest
—Paradox’s is the most solid and well-structured
—Wink’s is most ‘alrightish’
—crossbob’s is pure genius
—extra mention for FFF: epic piece and I hail you for it, but
the one I like the most — with its subtlety of style and its quaint snapshot resonance — is…

This one better be worse.
Aye, that'd be fair enough.
I just want to finish it now ... and get it in on time if I can.
It probably wouldn't win anyway, but I've got nothing better to do.

Question:
If the entry can only be read after midnight, does it count as being within the deadline?
Like I said FFF...
*Further Bwahahahaha's*

ARGH!
This is going to turn out like short extracts from a book, rather than a short story.
Too much, stupid brain.
Now I'm starting to think it's not much good, either.
Maybe if I keep on it'll get better again ... maybe ...
never again

Technically, I have until midnight.
So remember that.
Just passed 1000 words, no signs of slowing.
