The Word Cloud

I have enjoyed reading the entries and wish to thank all entries. Many dark and melancholy tales here and several people actually knew that BA31 is the regular service from Heathrow to Hong Kong but no matter.

This month's honours go to Jak for the reincarnation tale. Runner up is Noodles tale of J-lo, most amusing, ST in third with his oblivion. And special mention to Alan P's masterpiece of piss take.

Skylark. Great tale but sadly too long and thus unfair to the others if I allowed it. I would love to read the next 500 words........

Over to you Jak, Noodles, on stand by if Jak is unavailable.........

Cheers all once again and you lot have no idea how difficult it is to pick a winner of thsi comp with so many good entries.

Jak, its your shout.

Many grats, Jak - a goodun. Knew you could do it.
Monsieur Prop, I must take issue over the early judgement; this comp closes at midnight on Monday, n'est pas? And it's only 10:30pm on Monday now (or was, when I opened this thread). Ah, perhaps you're not in England? Sorry. I'm too late. C'est la vie.
Still well done Jak - and Noodles and runners up.

Wow, what can I say?
Thank you....
And I hope everyone will enter Novembers contest

Well done Jak - great imagination.

Congrats Jak - well done :-)

Great story, Jak. Well done!

Well done Jak - a great story

And I thoroughly enjoyed Alan's take on it all too

OFP, thanks - I knew I'd disqualified myself as soon as I posted but I don't think I could have edited it any shorter anyway. Was great fun to write though - as for the next 500 words - use your imagination - it will probably do it more justice than anything I tried to write - hee hee.

Well done Jak...I guess the fact I went over the 200 mark was a big no no...oops...

Hi guys,

The limit was a killer I'm afraid. ( If you hadn't put the numbers down I wouldn't have counted).

In retrospect it was a mistake to impose such a tight limit.

The joy I had in winning the previous comp and setting up this one was hugely mitigated by having to pick just one "winner". That sucks as I am sure all of you will inevitably discover.

I don't know if I have what it takes for such short stories...

Those were great, sorry i just missed out on entering!

I8,

Your story was hugely fun to read.

regardless of the word count, isn't that the whole idea here? to entertain and enjoy'...


Now go and win November.......

Thanks, for that...if I have time...:). By the way, did you get it? The longest journey in life is marriage...
