Every time I plan to do something, real life buts in. I planned to post my summaries of the stories here, but life got in the way. Grrrruff.

On the bright side, I finished a story. The weird thing? It started off as the stupidest, weirdest, and most awful thing I could come up with at the time. From there, it sort of grew into a story. There's actually a beginning, middle, and end. Can you believe it? The only thing is. What do I do with it? (Me scratches head in wonder.)

That's what I was doing. I hope all of you had a good month. Oops. Not the end of the month yet but I hope you enjoyed yourselves. I will read and vote on the entries. That I promise.

 

[nixie]

Vote Hex. Runners up Cul,Mosaix and Crystal Haven.

 

[Cathbad]

On the bright side, I finished a story

What's it about?

 

[Calliopenjo]

Hi Cathbad,

The story is about a teen that goes through a possible demon possession and finding out her father doesn't love her. There is a happy ending. An actual ending. I had no idea. Anyway, the teen does cuss a lot and loves the F-bomb.

Although I would like to have seen you describe the sensation of hearing the tide swell as you inhale and exhale slowly with closed eyes and plugged ears. Not in 75 words I guess.

That would also explain why I can't catch Baylor (who has a lot to answer for in the Trump thread (if you've not been there, think carefully before you do)).
