Please can everyone remember to check your word count before posting, unfortunately we had to remove another entry due to it being a couple of words too long. Its not something we enjoy doing. Double check, triple check as Teresa says using your finger is best way.


On another note, please take into account before posting that this is a family site, so don't make the stories too graphic.

Phew managed to catch up with all my thoughts... (Might end up double posting here, to respond to s few other comments after... sorry)

Gary Compton – Loved the theme running through this one, almost as though the prisoner could change things by killing Wilson, stop the killing by killing the killer... but of course that still makes him a killer... (if my meandering makes any sense there)

Bloody hell. I GOT A MENTION.

Runs to the drinks cabinet:) Well its more like a drinks warehouse really. I should cut down.:mad:

Anyway thanks, did anyone get me Castaway hidden meaning?

Rock on Tommy!!
 
Onebigpotato – Another superb first entry, tragic and dark. It felt somehow real which makes it both sad and horrific.

I feel back almost spoiling the moment (and what a moment it is with such rich description and flattering speech!), this is I think the 5th or 6th time I've entered. Last month I got in too late and before that I had a huge break.

That reminds me, if we could all go back to calling me OBP like some used to, we'll all save ourselves a lot of typing. :)

I'm off to less family friendly and more graphic forums! Hazzah! :D

You shouldn't have any trouble finding them. There are probably more like that than there are like us. We try to provide an alternative, so that people have a choice. We'll hope to see you back when you've had your daily ration of sex and gore.
 
So the fly didn't end up on that cat's nose...?

No! It flew out of the cell, moved to America. Married a college girl with the brains of Einstein and became President of the United States of America.

The American Dream:)

Happy Days!!

TERESA! By "graphic" I meant comics and by "less family friendly" I meant uhhhh..hmmmm...what's believable here.....ponies? Yes, that was it, comics about ponies. So I hope you'll keep your dirty mind to yourself.

Please send me PM's with things from aforesaid dirty mind.
 
Perp - Thank you for your comment, I did and do want to write more into this story, i think it will be my pet project for the next few weeks. I wanted to show the process of torture and give a feel to it that people could relate to. I finished it this way to show how although they had gone through all this work, all they had successfully gained was a forced and false confession, he hadn't done anything and they had taken the wrong man. However i do not think i'll be able to post the final piece for critique because of the content. If anyone would be interested I will let people know when i'm finished and then PM it to them. I would love it if anyone would then take the time to look over it.

Chrons Members - For anyone who read my story this month and thought it was too graphic I apologise. I did not mean to cause any problems and in all honesty did not realise it would be seen that way, I just got caught up in the writing. If the moderators see it as a problem they are more than welcome to take it off. I don't want anyone seeing it that shouldn't and being affected by it. In future I shall endeavour not to do this again. Sorry.

On a lighter note, there are some wonderful stories here, and some of them are very dark. I was a little concerned by the themes in the stories. Lots of suicide which i dont usually like to read about but the writing was excellent! And one story that doesn't need the theme mentioning when you consider that fact i have two small children, that was very dark and powerful. I loved the twist for his punishment but felt the pain instantly at the thought of it.

Perhaps next month we can have a theme based on flowers, ponies and candy floss!!!
 
Of course, you.








(I'm surprised cornelius didn't add, "No sweat!" After all, it's better to be a source of inspiration than of perspiration. And it's something we can aspire to....)
