Ok, lets encourage more people to write short stories here. I thought it would be fun to see what you guys are made of, and hey, I might even write one myself!
Here's the deal:
1) Stories must be on the topic set, which is "The Magic Monkey"
2) The story should be less than 1500 words
3) Posts in a seperate topic should contain "Short Story Competition" in the title.
If this is successful then perhaps someone else can start off another topic for the next competition.

pb explained to me, no matter.
Are we going to announce a winner for the competition?
[Perhaps everyone who entered gets to vote for their favourite story]
And we will take it in turns choosing a topic to write about. :-D

Thanks pb.
I loved that little monkey, and it was tough to see him go through so much.
I'll start a new topic later in the week detailing the subject of the next competition...

Oh, yeah, the competition.
I did try to write something, but it just didn't work. Not one bit.
Shame.
But I'm writing The Jeebus Chronicles now, so blarg to you all anyway.

Ok. This was a pretty difficult one to judge. All the entries were fantastic and there was such a range that it really did come down to the wire on this one.
Black Glove's entry was probably one of the weirdest stories I've read in a long time, I loved it, Spoonbeast's story was a great take on a gangster style story, with what felt like Indiana Jones overtones.
Grix gave us a great little head-twister of a tale which had a good ending (glad you kept the doctor's report in at the end there, Grix) and Paradox provided the sci-fi element with giant Mechanical killing machines, great description of them, by the way.
But I think, for pure empathy for its main character Meka's story really made it and this is the reason I'm giving Meka the prize for the Codename:Magic Monkey, the story of Marko. Well done Meka!
