Can I have your spare one - I got nuffink.

Just finished. I enjoyed that. Very different in tone to the original movies. I'm just old enough to have seen Star Wars, as it was first known, in the cinema. But I think a lot of rose tinted spectacles are applied when discussing the original stuff. Yeah I still enjoy it when I rewatch now and...

Hi @Parson I'm sure @Bowler1 is too polite to mention it (again anyway, he tried an earlier hint, but it was too subtle,) but the vote never happened. I'm sure you would love to sort that out before the time elapses.

Honourable mention for: @AnRoinnUltra - Puts the average mistake at work in a new light. @emrosenagel - Yuk. @mosaix - Ultimate recycling. @Peter V - Every action... Vote goes to: @Troyzan787 - A new circle of life.

Kicking the can. Six months ago the ’Rips’ appeared. Everywhere. All across the now spotless, pristine Earth. ’The body fell through last night. Dead less than an hour.’ ‘Christ! What the hell else is gonna come through these things?!’ Three generations earlier… [Top secret facility.]...

Oh dear, I woke up with a better version of my story swimming around in my head. Post in haste, regret at leisure...

Endlings He was dead, my only companion. Two years ago the asteroid hit. I absently wonder if the dinosaurs did any better? We hadn’t seen another soul in months. Exhausted I lay back, resting my eyes. I was awoken by something nudging my head, an odd; hefty; ugly looking ‘bird.’ Curled next...

Super stuff @Victoria Silverwolf led from start to finish. My heartfelt thanks goes to @chrispenycate for my precious vote and only mention. Obviously no body else has such impeccable taste. I would never be brave enough to post a story in the ’tear my story a new one’ or ‘improving our 300...

Told you so ‘I’m sorry Dr Teller, but you can’t simply ignore it!’ ‘I most certainly can!’ With that, the highly respected Doctor of theoretical mathematics, reached up and wiped the offending recumbent number eight from the white board, with a triumphant and satisfying squeeeeeeek. His...

As always, many thanks to our reviewers. Making sure every story gets a mention in some way. More tales obviously based on the image than normal perhaps? The powerful image feeding the community imagination in a very specific way. Great pic and sculpture. Great job one and all. Takes a good...

Elephants!? ‘Bethany! Will you get your ass out here, we’re gonna be late!’ Mummy Jameson yells into the apartment. ‘The animals won’t care what colour eye shadow you have on!’ My wife and eldest have been bumping up against each other more often of late. Conversely, I feel a little tug at my...

Hollow existence ‘You’ve been a wonderful audience. Thank you …..and goodnight!’ They stand as one. The applause swells to a deafening crescendo. I gaze out at my adoring fans. Maybe just one more encore. [Beep boop beep] Crewman Williams, please report. Late to station. Again! Crewman...

Review one, review them all. Is why I have only really posted in the discussion threads with my results and thoughts on those choices. Which is something everyone who lists their votes and faves should do in my opinion. Premature discussion of the stories before voting closes allows others to...

Honourable mentions @Guttersnipe - Nice twist. Makes the short list even with what I thought could be a plot hole. (Naughton physically takes the money, then passes through the door.) @Betok_Haney - Both spooky & warm hearted. Can Mom see/feel Dad or is it just the sort of thing people say. I...

It’s a boy… Finally Home. Eighteen hours in labour! My darling wife’s snoring from the next room cheers me. The babe also sleeps, I can’t resist another peek. He stirs and turns. Eyes wide open, staring, two tiny pools of inky black. His mouth stretched into an obscene ‘O’. A precious hand...

I would be terrible at writing content for this ‘world’. My ways would be far to clinical, effective and ultimately boring I guess. After all this time they are still so terrible at clearing the ‘dead’. They use a perfect cattle run, then place it away from the shutter to allow some convenient...

Coming to this nearly a year after you guys. Now hit Amazon Prime. It’s often discussed on here, when things don’t make sense, which is surreal given the fantastical subject matter. But I always agree it’s those normal things not making sense that are the most frustrating. To my point. In this...

I’m sure you can put it on the shelf to fit another theme another day…

What is the lowest amount of entries ever?

I'm in. No offence intended to any of our lovely members on here, that are employed in any of the positions I mentioned. (Estate Agent may be a UK term, known in the States and Oz as a Realtor I think?) (Apologies mods if this constitutes explaining parts of a story? Please remove if needs...
