Sorry, folks. I may be late with the Poll. I am in the throws of a migraine, and may not be able to get things organized for today.
On the plus side, there will be more time for submissions.

Hope you feel better soon @elvet!

Seconding what @THX1138 wrote, migraines are nasty things from what I hear of them -I'd say a computer screen does them no good either, hope it passes painlessly.

Sence there are not that many entries as usual, everyone else!
A lot of good and fun stories.

 

[therapist]

I voted for Better off Dead and Retirement Gift
I was intrigued by A Lucky Find but i'm not sure I understood it.

 

[THX1138]

@therapist I liked A Lucky Find, and I had a very similar story in mind but thought it's author did a better job of fitting the bill in a 100 words. So, I didn't.
