Right, here we are then, number eighteen.
I've decided to make the subject Tracks.
Hopefully there's a lot of potential inspiration in that, what with the several multiple meanings. The links can be as subtle or as strong as you like, so I think there's sufficient room here for enough diversity.
I'll allow up to two entries per person - if you're on an inspiration high, I don't want to be the one to stop you, but remember that there can only be one winner, so it may be worth concentrating on just the one story.
There's no word limit - within reason - and the closing date for entries is Tuesday 8th February, which gives you the traditional two weeks. I'll announce the results the following Wednesday.
So - enjoy.
RESULTS
Cheers to everyone who entered, the input is always appreciated. As for judging, I think I'll revert to the first, second and third tiers and ignore the radical ways of the rebellious Black Glove/Faberge Gem.
Third
Addict by Paradox.
There was just something impressive and memorable about the distinctive style, and how well the airy atmosphere was conveyed. Good stuff.
Second
Pensées by arctic hobo.
This was really well done, and very close to being first. Being so short and tightly written, it was very difficult to fault and a good read.
First
Ginormous by Meka Dragon.
As I said in the thread, it wasn't a flawless piece of writing, but it was so enjoyable and so easy to read, especially being so comparatively long, that it really was that bit more impressive to clinch the top spot.
Onwards to number nineteen then.

You are my best friend mate. It may be slightly less crap now.
Well I suppose an extra hour won't do any harm, if that was a serious request.
I'll be printing 'em off and reading them tomorrow at about six no matter what, so I suppose anything before then is fine.

I'm resisting the urge to write something utterly ludicrous avec demon pancakes.

I am. If I ever get it finished of course... I was crippled by illness and so missed 10 days of writing time, please can I get just an extra hour?

Nothing :)
What happened to you sleepy?
Always the impatient one. It is not judged until midnight.
Who's the winner then?
Any remaining entries in by 23:59:59 tomorrow please (classic SR deadline).
I'm a little disappointed that nobody's done a detective following a villain's tracks yet.

Right, mine's finally finished. I need more time to polish it up really, but the deadline rather snuck up on me, so it'll have ot do as it is. It's called called 'Ginormous'.
