"Short Story Competition 18"

Okay, here goes. Short Story Competition Number Eighteen.

The theme is Gorland

What? I hear you say. Gorland? Yes, Gorland, a neutral word which could mean anything ... a person's name, the name of a place, a thing (big or small), anything whatsoever. You decide. I'm trying to make this as open as possible.

So the theme is Gorland, use it how ever you will. The one rule is that "Gorland" dominates your story, which, by the way, can be in any format of fiction you desire, viz. prose, poetry, play, or any other fictitious mode that I can't right now bring to mind. Even something like a fake news report or a bogus biography ...

Closing date: around Valentine's Day.

What is Gorland?

Yes, I'm still trying to get an entry together....argh! That trip to London just gave me far more work...

No worries. I will only judge when there's enough entries. I may even enter a story myself.

I promise I'll enter.

Perhaps I'll write something in the hotel while I'm in London, depends what I do in the evening!

Fear not, I'm still here.
I haven't read the entries yet, and with only two so far there's no point judging until there is more, so the deadline is open at the moment.

Damn! Only 8 more days.

If I don't get it finished soon, I'll just end it on a bizarre cliffhanger. XD

I'm off to America on the 14th as well...

[B]EDIT- This one was a bit rushed as well...

Too much other stuff going on.

Still trying to finish!

Mine is well under construction now, thinking it's going to need a lot more work though.

I've got a few ideas, but so far they're sooo predictable.

There is one idea in particular that I think would be good, though, if only I could find a way to make it just a bit more original....

I am happy, for I have started mine. A bit odd, and it might grow to quite the length, but we'll see.
