As the hands reach twelve on the Short Story clock, I sit and contemplate the title for the next Short Story topic.

The decision is made, the title, scrawled in bold below, is set.

Midnight

Ah. I see you think this may be easy. But the reader is looking for originality here. And so I bid you write, write me a tale I'll relish. And when the calender flips to 25th June, I shall read and decide on a winner.

**Update**
Stories will be judged TODAY! Anyone still wanting to enter has until later this afternoon while I read through the other stories.

***UPDATE 2***

Well, it was worth the wait, though maybe waiting for Meka to enter wasn't fair on everyone else (yes, it was all planned, Meka, that subliminal message you got to write a story and all).

Well, the winner has been chosen, and yes, it was the one that matched the subject matter in the best way, while still being original...

So, well done Meka, A Coachman's Tale won SSC12!

I loved reading all the stories, though, it was still a hard decision with the quality all these short stories provide.

Gah, sorry for being so shoddy on this.

I wrote an opening and it didn't really progress... I will get something done, hopefully in the next couple of days.

Sure, I'd rather have more good quality entries than finish it earlier. Next Monday ok ?

Could you put it back a week, I'm away for next week and I haven't finished my piece yet. Thanks if you can, pb.

If you promise to write one, I'll extend it yet another week!

I've got an idea, but I have got to think of how to make the story more "interesting".

I'll try to enter, though I'm trying to resist giving it the old dark murderer in the shadows.
