I recorded little comments while reading your stories, so I'm gonna share them all in one long post.

Bren G plays with words to bring about a humorous ending for this mythological inspired fantasy.
Perpetual Man creates an element. Shame it’s not the one his protagonist hoped for.
Land Under Wave brought on a bout of nostalgia. One of the warmest things to recollect is me making a Mother’s Day card, stating that I loved her more than anyone else.

Guttersnipe sets the scene, exhibiting the potential for what could be an enticing kids’ series.
Sorry,
Cat’s Cradle, but I don’t feel like joining your cult. The idea of nuclear energy being recognised as a holy element seems preposterous. What lives must the cult members have led to make them believe such propaganda? I will give you a
vote, though, but only if you promise not to nuke me.

Elckerlyc uses anthropomorphism to make natural weather anomalies and disasters seem cute.
Luiglin’s mysterious prose kept me guessing. I love puns and wordplay. Suffice to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
dannymcg creates a city under siege, a red herring for the cleverly funny ending.
Daysman uses evocative imagery to create a tale perfect for those who love puzzles.
Justin Swanson creates a heart palpitating, nightmare reality where technology, itself, has become extinct. Some would welcome the chance to live off the elements, but I need my laptop more than oxygen. I’m not even exaggerating.
TheEndIsNigh introduces us to the element of life through characterisation. It made me imagine the millions of carbon cells in my body talking to me at once, like some sort of hive mind.
Starbeast created a fantasy story before slapping me in the face with the element of surprise.
BT Jones reminds us to pay attention in our studies, or endure the possibility of everlasting failure.

Hugh shows us that saving money is as easy as gaining knowledge and experience.
fostersaccount’s artist ads a nefarious element to his art. Any publicity is good publicity, right?
MikeAnderson goes overboard while delivering a lesson to a dismissive teacher.
Marvin sends us on an exhilarating journey over a disintegrating world. I can almost feel the flame’s breath under my wings.
Johnnyjet keeps it simple, turning the weather into emotional gestures.
Sblackwood’s imaginative Sci-Fi sports game encourages its contestant to experience the elements in unorthodox ways. I’d assume scoring Pu would have deadly consequences.
Another element of surprise from, this time from
CarBear. Disappointment and embarrassment sets in during the revelation of a cruel prank.
A parent gives a flicker of hope to their children in
Joshua Jones’ sad tale.
Mosiax uses comedy to invoke the element of wind and fight the mischievous invaders.
Trollheart implements miscommunication and word play to create a comic Sci-Fi.
Using well-loved fantasy elements,
Parson carves a story relatable to anyone who’s other suffered from the dreaded writer’s block.

Chrispenycate introduces us to an intriguing academy that specialises in combat. If only I could have gone to such an academy.

If
M.Robert Gibson was my science teacher, I’d have no problem remembering the periodic table with witty stories such as this.

If we as a species ever manage to control the weather, it can be used for great destruction and domination, as highlighted by

Elvet brings us a sinister, yet adorable story of a cat who may have unwittingly killed their owners.
The Judge creates another chapter for Sherlock Holmes. Watch him figure out these catastrophic events, and track down the familiar foe responsible.
Beelzebub utilises the minds of scientist to bring about a malicious plan in
Maya13's thought provoking tale.
AMB takes us to a world where human extinction clears the way for the restructuring of an empire.
Mad Alice made me giggle with the ginormous proportion of this absurd, imagination fuelled story. Maybe we're as small to some as ants are to us.
Ursa Major delivers two of my favourite things: Greek mythology and puns.
David Evil Overlord stimulated my imagination with images of this strange, yet funny supernature documentary.
