Thank you mattribute for picking my story.

Here's the next challenge:

Out for Dinner

I'll allow two "entree"s per person. Laughing at my amazing pun will enhance you chance of victory

I'm not going to give you long, only until the 10th June, and I'll judge over the weekend of the 11th & 12th.

Special rule for Crossbob - (anyone else can adhere to this if they wish) - one of your characters must be called Mike.

Results

Many very good stories - and possibly the most I've ever had to read for a SSC.

I'm going to give this one to:

Asher for Out for Dinner

I thought it was a well delivered story, and I really felt for the main character as he returned to the place time and again from where so many happy times he had spend with his wife.

Runners up are (and in no particular order):

Ant - Late For Dinner
FFF - Desire
JFH - The Last Supper

Well I'm starting to read right NOW. Too late!


Just kidding.

I will read some now, but there's no way I'll get through the lot, so you've got until the sun comes up...

Oh wow, you put the comma in the right place! Now all you have to do is learn to put a space after one and we're well away. Seriously bob, over the last couple of months your English has improved amazingly. Your stories were very good by your standards but unfortunately, I don't think you'll take the crown this time. Your time will come though, I'm sure.

No. The new one will begin on Monday I imagine, be patient. You may even get to be the judge if you're the winner!
