23. Phew, that’s a lot.
Surely this must have been going for over a year now.

Anyway, yuss, thank you to pb for picking me as winner of the last SSC, and here’s a new little thinger to get your mitts stuck into. I thought I’d choose this topic after the song my winning story reminded pb of, because I’m sentimental and all, awwww. Anyway, go forth and bring back a story related to or entwined with (or something) the topic of:

Wire(s)

So, yuss, stick that in there somewhere. I don’t care how.

Rules:
- Not too long, y’know. FFF doesn’t want to be outdone, does he? (ah crap, I know what’s coming)
- Entries must be good (sorry crossbob).
- Needs to be in by midnight on 28th April, that’s a Thursday. I’ll judge on the Friday.

Go.

Okay, okay, okay. Judgement time. Hurrah and such.

3rd Place: "Instinct" by Paradox
Short, snappy, and for all but one of the paragraphs really, really good.

2nd Place: "Invisible Wires" by Meka
I felt this was something quite different to most other Meka stories, and I really enjoyed it. Top stuff.

Winner: "Loss" by Stryke
Excellent, emotional, and yeah. Brilliant. I related to it on so many levels.

Wires, eh... All I can think of is strangling-wires (and a bald bloke).

Mine's taking shape nicely, just a question of shaping my ideas so they flow before tonight.

Ah, that must be it.

(I still won. I say I set the topic for SSC23. The topic is me.)

The only logical conclusion I can draw is that it just wouldn't be fair if I won twice in a row. pb's a fair guy, you see.
That is all.

I think we should do an old-fashion FOG story in here sometime. Just for old times sake.

I still won SSC22. pb just doesn't want to break to y'all.

All the ideas I have had thus far are lame and corny.
I need you to inspire me FFF and not in the usual way, I only have 2 days
