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…

Rungs by Mav

You win.

::::—brief firework display—::::

Over to you.

Nice going with the win, BG, but I'm thinking the title is going to require something...hmmm...yuss.

Aha! A time to prove my n00b storywriting MADSKILLZ. Sorry, I'm trying to stop playing computer games at the moment, but some memory lingers...
