Before I link the stories that so far have been written, I wish to thank all of you who participated, and those who are also planning on participating in the challenge. It isn’t always easy to find inspiration, especially when a harridan gives you a deadline. But I also wish to thank the readers for finding and lurking around our blogs. I hope y’all were as entertained as I was.
Here is a list of the stories written for the challenge, so far:
Autumn People: The Stockyard Girl
Epic Entropy: Rendezvous at Eight
Fountain Abbey: One Rainy Day (Part 1)
Jay in Ames: The Sithy Challenge
Lemur King’s Folly: The Starkness of Being
Reluctant Rebel: Nightmarish Morning
Snugg Harbor: A Recollection of December (Part 1)
Soylent Green: The Transmogrifier: A Tale Of Terror
The Necromancer: Glances could kill. Love was outlawed.
Third World County: Well, It Ain’t Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder
Yabu: Merced Recibida, Libertad Vendida
Make sure you stop by, and hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have. I can’t wait to read the rest!

I thought it was gonna be a chore, but it was kinda fun coming up with a story, and filling it out to make it sound coherent.
I enjoyed every story in this post. Well done, everybody!

Yeah, I’m late. The alarm didn’t go off….the dog, no the neighbor’s dog ate it. Someone cleaned up and threw it away when I wasn’t looking?
Okay, that’s not the story…just warming up.
