Nice. You haven’t entered the challenge with fantasy which is quite interesting because I couldn’t think of anything else so well done for getting past my imagination.

Easily my favourite entry to this challenge so far – it’s realism makes it very chilling. It works well as a standalone story but also has brilliant possibilities for anybody who wanted to sequel… Congrats, and welcome to Ficly! MH :)

Ah how wonderfully unexpected. I hadn’t even considered that someone might enter a piece not in the fantasy/sci-fi genre.

Chilling throughout and enough of a hook for a sequel if anyone feels so inclined. Thank you for entering :)

thanks! I wasn’t sure exactly how to do this, it’s my first entry, but it was really fun. Any suggestions appreciated!

Congratulations on the win – it was well deserved…! MH :)
