Everyone's stepped out, so just come on in and put your feet up.

I should step out long enough to find a story, myself. There must be one out there somewhere.
 
Oh... clever clever, Perp.

(Tywin -- I love that writing. It sings).
 
Hey, Glad to see some activity here, I thought my computer froze. I mean FROZE, it was 17 below zero last night, that makes the 40th nite this winter that it has gone below zero (F). Should have had the winter Olympics in Green Bay Wi.
Dusty are you at a loss for words? I doubt it, just write some down, put em in their proper order and send, piece of cake-----oops, I forgot, story, theme etc----never mind.

(sees baba yaga and Quetzalcoatl and Kokopelli coming up the walk. hides.)
 
Naww, never at a loss for words -- just haven't gotten around to letting myself think about it yet.

Chrispy, I'll keep you in mind, just in case. :D

T.E. That was a lovely story. The connection to dancing was a bit of a reach for a country boy like me. But with the help of Sir Google I found it. :D
 
I have, sadly, had to remove an entry from the competition for exceeding the word count. :(

Everyone: please make sure (because sometimes the word counts produced by software aren't correct) that your entry does not exceed 75 words in length.

And welcome to 'fiarra' - a debut challenger.
 
Brev -- The complex, interlacing structure of this poem creates a hypnotic mood.

martin321 --- A sudden change in perspective sends chills down the reader's spine.

Wazkal -- The author mixes genres and offers us an intriguing glimpse of a strange conflict.

johnnyjet -- This vivid portrayal of cruelty recalls the famous words of Shakespeare's Gloucester.

Parson -- A familiar folktale is made modern and relevant in this thoughtful cautionary tale.

Tywin -- By showing us both valor and grace, the author creates a philosophical fable.

Bob Senior -- By adding a touch of magic, the classic Western genre is given new life.

Glen -- The power of myth is dramatically portrayed in this realistic tale.

Perpetual Man -- By making use of a riddle which contains its own answer, this poem reflects the mystery of ritual.

Teresa Edgerton -- The author expands upon the themes of a classic fairy tale to ponder the price we pay for our humanity.

fiarra -- This symbolic parable forces us to consider humanity's many failures.
 
Great review victoria. You got it in a nutshell. Pity I got the word count wrong in the first place. At least I tried.
 
Thanks Victoria. As always you have a concise synopsis of my entry. (Notice I did not say "pithy.":p:D
