    I can't believe I missed this opportunity. That prompt sounds like a lot of fun.

    No time like the present to brainstorm and come up with something to post in the WbA later. This round had a lot of directions and some interesting interpretations.

    WTF? I'm in here to tally and turns out I never actually voted (though I reviewed all of them a few days ago, bad Ched)

    So wasn't sure what to make of this competition. Varied entries but nothing that stands out to me, honestly.

    Best story was probably #4, but it barely used the prompt.
    Best use of the prompt was probably #5, but it's barely HP.
    Entry 2 was decent on all fronts but excelled nowhere, imo.

    2 points to 4
    2 points to 5
    1 point to 2

    Whoohoo!!!

    Someone double check my math, but I already checked it!

    I'm in the process of checking with Xiph about who wrote which entry, but feel free to message me! I know who all entered but not who wrote what at this point.

    But CONGRATS to Entry #5 - Aftermath!
    RunnerUP - Entry #4!

    I already claimed it in the thread, but #2 was mine. So close and yet so far.

    Wanted to say great job to everyone that entered though. That was a lot of fun.
