"Short Story Competition 29"

But which is the imposter?
Such a mystery ... even crossbob was stumped!

Ohoho.

Anywho - cheer Rick for choosing my divine piece of slightly overdue literature. And to Nash and Merm for their whole-hearted support.
I ... I ... just don't know what to say.

Except, perhaps, on with the show:

Shade(s)

Is the title for this one.
I don't care how long they are, or how many there are.

All in by around the 3rd of August please, or there abouts.
Gogogogogo.

So who won this then?

Why not search for one of those Hollywood rejects? It won't cost you much either.

He's not a manly man. No man with long hair is!

Both I and he shall disagree there.

Late reply because of her using her computer

I know he's a man. And a manly man at that. He's just like me, in fact. Only not quite as good.
Matteh doesn't think he's a girl. He's not sure exactly what he is, so he's being a mess at the moment until he is sure.

And I'm an expert layer now, oh yes. People come to me and they say "Stryke, my lad" "Yes" I say "Stryke, my lad" they say "Can you lay this path, which is both mighty in width and unfathomable in depth?" "£6 an hour" I say. And they are happy, for both parties are satisified.

I do the corsets for fun, mind.

You been dusting out some old ladies crevices?

Don't pretend I don't know you. You don't earn that much laying paving stones.

Also, I think with Milan that you're still kidding yourself. Girly hair does not a girl make. Look at Matty.

I'm holding out for Milan Baros, everyone knows that.

I have an outside job, laying paths in a care home. Just until the end of August, to raise travelling/uni funds. I like it, though, I've got a tan that makes the ladies swoon and guns to match. I would flex, but walls would crumble.

And as for FFF moving house, that's a pitiful excuse. If he's not here by midweek, I say we nominate someone to judge it. Someone good who hasn't taken part this time, like Ant.

FFF's real name is Neal and dringos framed him.

I remember FFF saying he was moving house at some point soon, that's probably where he's gone to.

Well, I am as you say, "tied down with big, heavy, black chains!!!"

The fire service is still my goal, but it's just a case of waiting for a force near me to start recruting. I am working in telesales at the moment to pay rent, I don't like it, despite being good at it. I want an outdoor job, like a postie or something, just to pass time until I can run into burning buildings to save cats, but in Brighton you're lucky to have any job, even supermarket work, so I'm not leaving until I have something set up.

As for you not being in a relationship for more then 2 months, don't worry. I'm sure the right guy is just around the corner. I'm now taken, but keep up hope.

Haha. What are you actually up to these days? Fire service was the aim, last time I checked in. And I heard you were engaged too. Congrats and all that, but you're my age. MY age. We don't do enagaged. I've never been in a relationship that lasted more than 2 months. Don't scare me, lad.
