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.

If you ask extra extra nice (and if it helps) I can extend the competition just a little.

Just for you, and all.

Aha
You know, wires? Entwined?

Anyhoo, very inspiring topic. I'll have a good think about which direction I could go in.
I've got to do it by Thursday though, so time constrainzuh.
