It's short story competition number thirty-five!
I'll come straight to the point. The theme is
The Woods
Closing Date - November 15th

Result
Thanks to all who entered, this, maybe the final SSC on these forums. Who knows?
As always it was difficult to pick a winner.
The Runner's-up
FFF - Troupe. I like everything you write (even if you don't like it yourself). This was the usual enchanting and mazy creation.
Stryke - Acres of Shadowland. Once again an intriguing read, written in that likeable style of yours.
Meka Dragon - In The Woods Lies A Cabin. You're like an Amazon forest of variety and creation. Last time a musical, this time a creepy ghost story. I always see your stories being turned into pieces of cinematic drama. To my mind you are a very commercial writer - and I say that in the best possible way.
Prophet - Across The Mountain Forest. This felt like I'd opened a novel by an established author and read a couple of pages. It is so well-written and polished. Very nearly won.
The Winner
Ineedsleep - Just Passing Through. This reminded me of what the SSC is all about. Short and sweet, concisely expressed and mapped out, simple and effective. Just liked it the most.
So is this the last one, or are we just gonna carry on? I feel like I should make a speech or something... (better not).

I love you all.
Can't you put the date back to 16th now please :D Because the site may not be closing now.
I will try and hurry now.
Well, if not for you, it certainly will be for me now.
Well, I don't if CrossBob is going to enter his "crows" thingy-?
Result tomorrow, if all is well.
Last night I dreamt that Hitler was in my kitchen - naked, save for a turquoise pinafore, wielding a pink feather duster, humming a happy tune. Hope it's not a recurring dream.

JFH ftw!
CrossBob, time is running out.
I've changed my mind. I'm going to read it now. I'm gonna go for it.
Jackboots on. Polka-dot dress - on. Beret aslant. I'm going in.

I'm a gamblin' man.
But it might not be there in the morning.
