    Wow, this is tough. They are all good. I will have to ponder this a little longer.

    Thank you, Virgil, but we still have a tie; need more votes!

    Did I mention that those who vote will receive virtual Kitkats?

    Wow! Fierce battle here! Neck and neck all the way!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    It's like watching a sporting match and sitting on the end of your seat, ready to jump in excitement.

    Isn't there a minimum amount of posts one must have to vote? Or is that for something else? Histary, if you want your vote to count I think you need to get up to 50 posts.

    Histray> The poll is open for the next 2.5 hours and, as Virgil pointed out, you need to have at least 50 posts to vote.

    You can post your stories in the Short Stories Section

    Wooo hooooo.



    Thank you to all those who voted. Great stories, I personally loved the Language of Rocks and am dead curious to know who wrote that.
