OK, inspired by New Orleans, the topic is:

After the Apocalypse

The apocalypse can be anything you want, and you don't even have to explain it, but it can't be a metaphor, ie "And I got to the front of the queue, and lo! the four horseman of apocalypse - famine, death, pestilence and forgetfulness - swept down upon me. I had left my wallet on the bedside table. The cashier laughed at me and I didn't get any lunch." A real apocalypse.

I'll judge on Friday 23rd. Two entries max, as long as you want.

Good luck!

Winner:
Black Glove

Runners up:
Ant
Prophet

Congratulations!

Well done, Black Glove. I think that was my favourite this time too.

OK, I've read the contenders again and the winner is...Black Glove. It was just too strange and otherworldly not to win. Well done. Runners up are Ant and Prophet, whose stories were also very good indeed.

OK, I've left comments on all the entries now. There were some very good ones so I'm going to have a bit of a think and then choose the winner from my three favourites.

I've read quite a lot of the entries already and hopefully I will be able to leave comments and judge later tonight.

I'm not really feeling the After the Apocalypse theme, so I won't be entering.

It's not bad, I tried, but it didn't inspire me other than to write a list of descriptive words, like "the blistering hellfire of satan's wrath rained down like bullets piercing the thin, defenceless skin, burning and searing and .." yadda yadda ya.

It's all a bit too goth for me, so I gave up.
