Despite having had the idea and jotted down the opening paragraphs a week ago, it's still taken me all day to get the story written, with the last couple of hours being spent adding words in one place, then having to prune words off somewhere else, only then to remove them again, realise I've got words spare, go mad and add too many, then have to prune others off... all repeated ad nauseam. But it's done at last and posted, though doubtless in something over an hour, when the editing window is closed, I'll come up with the perfect word or line which is currently missing.
Anyhow, we've a respectable-looking number of entries now, so well done everyone who's posted in the last few days. But we can always do with more stories, so if you're hesitating, there's still a few hours left to get a masterpiece written!
