DISCUSSION THREAD- February 2019- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Tywin]

I voted for @Tywin because I'm a sucker for noble stories of duty, however much in vain.

A sucker for lost causes indeed, I don't think I've got a shot at winning this one

Thanks much for the vote, and thanks TDZ for the mention.

[Hugh]

I voted for Hugh ... I just love the last line. CC

Yay!! Cue immediate consumption of strawberry jam and almond butter sandwich! Many many thanks!

And many thanks also @Parson for shortlisting me a day or two ago!

Meanwhile it looks like the frontrunners will be duelling it out until the stroke of midnight....

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I honestly - really! - have almond butter and strawberry jam in my fridge right now! Wonderful combo. This has nothing to do with my vote, though, as I had no foreknowledge of Hugh's sandwich preferences.

brown sourdough bread?

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Now you're just showing off. I'm very jealous, because that sounds really tasty. I use 100% oat bread...not bad, that, either.

Now that's completely new to me. I'll definitely give it a try if I can find it.

 

[Danny McG]

5 vs 5 and the clock is ticking!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

There are other contenders too, danny! And a fair number of votes to follow, I think. Good luck nixie, and everyone!

 

[nixie]

There are a few contenders and a lot of good entries. This is the closest I've ever been, really is surreal.

 

[elvet]

It seems that the voting has been very close lately. While not in the running, I am thrilled with all the mentions. Thanks for the new one @LittleStar .
There is another close poll in this month's Photo Challenge, if anyone wants to take a look.

 

[Luiglin]

Top three for me...

• @Dr_R_Dizzle - omg it haz 2b the apoccycrisp.
• @M. Robert Gibson - an accident? That's pleading annoying.
• @Bob Senior - subtle, very subtle, I like it and getting the vote

I voted for Victoria Silerwolf's L'état, C'est Moi because it gave me a vibe of hapiness withing hoplessness.

And a massie thank you to Stable for the listing!

 

[Ursa major]

If a post is apocalyptic, is it also post apocalyptic? This non-question has dominated the Ursa jury's thinking, but they did allow themselves just enough time to take a peek at this month's entries, resulting in the following...
