August / September 100 Word Anonymous Challenge 2022 Discussion

[elvet]

Welcome to the next 100 Anon!
@Daysman is our current winner, and has chosen the topic and genre for us.
I'll be accepting entries for 1 month. After the vote, there can be the usual guessing, though enthusiasm for that has fallen off the last few challenges.
Good luck to all!!
