Right, lets get this done. I am the winner, which is nice. You all know the rules by now, I'm sure:
-You can enter more than once, if you really feel the need.
-As long as you like
Good rules, those. The topic shall be:
Rescue
Hopefully there's a bit of scope there.
And your closing dates for these potential gems - 25th October
Get to it.

Here we go. I've had a good looksee at the entries over the past week or so, and I've known the winner since it was first posted, sorry. So it was a battle for 2nd and 3rd all the way, and it was close between pb, tnc, JFH and Prophet. I've gone with:
3rd - tnc, Is This Life?
Very atmospheric despite being quite short, which is hard to do. Well done.
2nd - Prophet, Hole In The Head
Liked pretty much everything you've written so far. This is no different. Nice flowing story.
1st - Black Glove, Nailer
I thought for a while about this. Not because it wasn't the best (which it was), but because the Glove won the one before this and I didn't want people to think I was choosing him because he chose mine, and all that. But I don't care, it was the best story by far. Shows imagination I wish I had and inspired use of words.
So there that is. Big hand to Glove.

What about a story of somebody who needs rescuing from prison (let's call this person Neal for example) because their friend (How about Christopher Dring?) frames them for setting fire to a barn?

Does it have to be influenced by anything? I just sat on my ass in front of a computer and thought for a while, for a word that'd pretty much let people bend their story to whatever they wanted to do this competition. Then I went to play football. Here endeth the extremely pointless lesson. Go read about punctuation.

That was uncalled for.
Only slightly, it wasn't the best question ever.
Yes I know.
I'm gonna make a story.
What's it going to be about?
Rescue, I'd imagine.
Yes I know rescue but I ment like storyline.
