Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #7

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

A big congrats to you, Grinnel.


And thanks to DEO and Flashy for the votes.

 

[Lucky_Lola]

Phew, that was a close race! Congrats to Grinnel!

 

[Grinnel]

Thanks to everyone for the votes, the listings, and the congrats!

Cash is acceptable as well. I will leave a conventient wheelbarrow for people to fill by the back door...

This is quite scary. It's my first 300 word story. I feel I have already reached the apex of my writing career. Perhaps I should retire undefeated... .

Grats to everyone who submitted a story. They were all excellent and I feel honoured to have won (by the proverbial skin of my teeth!)

Awesome finish to the voting!!

you know, I'm not sure how well known Michael O'Leary is outside Ireland, so I planned a short bio at the end of the comp. (I think the UK guys probably knew him). He runs Ryanair, which my poor southern counterparts are more or less subjected to as practically the national airline. (There is air lingus, but he's trying to buy that.)

He is known for swearing in interviews, hence the fecking in the title, and amongst other things has threatened to charge passengers for using the loos in flight (in fact, this might already happen), make them fly standing up (yes, really), charges a bomb for either luggage or non-printed boarding passes (even saying recently that it was typical of the bl**dy English to complain, and thereby get himself some more headlines).

There are rumours that should there be an emergency, extra will be charged for the oxygen... you get the picture. Very colourful chap. Much disliked, but in a fascinated by his horrendousness manner.

I am quite sure, should there be a means of preventing the end of the world that cost Ryanair money, we are all stuffed. So this was social commentary...

Well done Grinnel! I always like it when my vote goes to the winner! Such an original idea.

I think any other month it could have been Perp or TSP's month for sure.

Good month everyone, now I really need to step up the game...not even a vote this time. But after reading the rest I can understand why.
