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.
Welcome back me...
Actually. It isn't very good, it's just something my fingers wanted to produce after seeing the title and my brain went along with it...
> What was it influenced by then?

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.
