Should have it up within an hour. Sigh This was a surprisingly hard topic, but I think I've managed to get something decent out of it.

Mine's almost done but I think I have to call it a night soon.

Poasted.

To you judges, I really just wouldn't bother with mine. It's five hundred and half words of complete crap that I pulled together after an all nighter.

If you really want to, go nuts, I suppose.

This whole thing's fairly bittersweet. I mean, it's a shame such a good topic was wasted on a no-show, but I didn't have any time to work on the assignment, and Radin would kick the crap out of me if he'd been here.

At least I can live long enough to get my ass handed to me in the next round, I 'spose.

It's up...much shorter then I realized, but then again, I didn't want to explain what was going on too much. That's up to the judges imagination. I just wanted to nail the point of the story, and hopefully I got it.

Hopefully I'm also within my genre's boundaries, because I took a real risk...

Well, I'm not terribly happy with what I wrote so, yes.
