DISCUSSION THREAD -- APRIL 2023 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Cat's Cradle]

Congratulations, emrosenagel and mosaix! I enjoyed both stories, but also by a whisker, I picked emrosenagel in a very close race. Good luck both, the rest of the way.

Huge thanks to The Judge for the listing!

ps - @Hugh, thanks for your comments on my story. Re:

...very sweet, made me think of that Brian Aldiss story.

I wonder what Aldiss story you're referencing? I've never read Aldiss, and thought I might look it up, thanks!

To both of you. First time round was a toss up between your two tales. Stuck with my original vote for the tiebreak but there was nothing in it. Both great.
