November / December 100 Word Anonymous Challenge Discussion

I have an excuse for not posting, my wife threatened me with divorce unless I decorated the spare room. Consequently my writing, photography, general loafing around, all cancelled. Thankfully the job is now completed and normal service has been restored to the House of Capricorn .
 
Some of the posts here are variations on Hauntology
I'm thinking I might write one and enter this challenge :unsure: ;)
Go for it, @Danny McG. We will not be disappointed. I'm delighted. There are now as many entries as there are discussion messages!

It was a close run thing with 'A Familiar Tune', but there was just something about the cold efficiency of 'Rough Justice' that pressed my buttons.
Well done everyone!

Waterfall

Vote goes to: Rough Justice

I thought I might do things a bit different this time. There doesn't seem to be much interest in guessing the authors. Would it be more fun if I posted the participant list earlier, BEFORE the poll ended? That would allow more time to think about who might have written what, and with corrections, allow for some logical deductions.
