Great to see that we have another two reviewers. Thanks RTGR and Provincial for your thoughtful comments (as well of course to Victoria and Parson).

Some very good entries so far. To be honest, I was really struggling this month. For some reason, I was finding it much easier to have ideas for unhappy endings than for happy ones.

I do like your entry this month Parson; very cleverly written.

@Hugh .... After Leaves of Grass .... This story left me thinking of a Hindu God and something very odd.
