I figure I'm not going to win the challenge, so I can just enthuse over here. Though I coulda sworn I've read the current story challenge before somewhere.
@Rootfireember: Yes, it's going to be real challenge for the judge as well because he can only select one winner. It must be tough enough for Daddy Si to pick entries for Bleedingcool, and at least he is able to pick several of them.
My apologies for not realising there were unanswered posts on here, folks...
@rootfireember - the reason you may have seen the original challenge before is because, as I said in the first post in the challenge, I wrote it several years ago as part of the fast fiction challenge I wrote over several years. That particular story was in response to a challenge by Regie Rigby, comics commentator, a friend, and all around good guy.
It seemed, on review, a pretty good story to use here as well.
