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

I've put in my first ever SSC entry. I think it's alright even if it is meant to be joke*. It was accidentally labelled as 16 not 26.

*the truth

Mine's simply called Out to Dinner, not sure how it compares to others but I think it's cool.

Cheers, if there is any too long just say it went on and you have better stuff to do instead of reading 10 pages of not so good stuff where you could be messaging on special reserve
