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…

Press the book entitled "Inspiro" on the top shelf of the bookcase - a secret passage will open in the basement. Go there and descend the narrow stairway (take a torch). There's a vermilion velvet box inside the largest cobalt vase behind the black curtain... here's the key to the pretty box.
I have to think of something new 'cos Rickoss already did the 'bleeding heart' version :(
Liked your little non-entry though.

I'll comment at the end when judging the winner and the also-rans.
Lots of stories to read. Thanking y'all.
It's done. I don't think I'll ever write anything quite like it again, as long as I live.
I've done one. Just kind of a passing thought that turned into something.

Can I borrow it? I'm sure mine has been leaking out of my ears.
