Absolutely fits the theme. And hell – the treasure being guarded by those applications is a dang sight more precious than an orc’s standard chest of copper pieces. Thanks for the entry!
Great story – in fact, an award-winning story. Congratulations!
The “doctor-scribble illegible” is of course great.
When you say “I checked the written work for completion.”, you then go into the typo correction. Perhaps “I checked the written work for accuracy.”? Small note.
Had to check the dictionary – “manilla” is legal, but it’s listed as an alternate of “manila”, the spelling I know. Even if you’re more comfortable with the double-l, it might do to look at public usage and see what’s being used to hawk the stuff, like Office Depot.
I’m not sure about titling the story the same as the challenge title – not because it’s duplication, but because it can deny your story a uniqueness.
That’s a half-hearted criticism at best, though – the title isn’t the story. shrug
Ah, well, don’t want to be accused of copyright infringement for manila vs manilla. lol okay okay, accuracy is a better word. you got me. I could change the title, just for you. ;) Thanks for being my newest fan!
If you feel the need to change the title, I approve – it’s your call. Or you could just comment with an alternate title – one you might have used if I had put down a rule on not using the challenge name as the title.
And I am pleased to offer what word selection advice I can – as we’re here to make each other better writers and share. :)
