Thanks to everybody who took the time to enter the story in a sentence competition, and for those who didn’t, you’ll be getting a visit in the wee small hours.  I just hope the words “bat” and “nightdress” fill you with dread! Nuff said.

In the name of fairness it was decided to have two categories, short and long sentences. We have two winners in the short sentence category. CONGRATULTIONS to the mysterious “The Jongleur” who is clearly a bit of a wordsmith on the quiet.

He wrote;  After which he took off all his clothes, except for his socks, and strutted back and forth across the road, shouting incomprehensibly until the police arrived.

And the other winner is Ms. Jellybean herself, “TorryGirl”.

She wrote; All night long in the sleazy, smoke-filled bar, the fat man handed out his number and only left at sunrise, devastatingly alone.

The winner of the long sentence is…….how exciting is this….Ms.”VodkaB”.

She wrote; Once a while ago, I knew a crow who wouldn't stop pecking and stealing various objects such as clothes pegs (our washing dropped to the floor) and other items which eventually got him into a lot of trouble with a woman down the lane who decided to clip his wings, but didn't succeed because he flapped furiously into her face, which in turn brought the cops running to the house to find out what the commotion was all about only to find that the woman had had her eyes pecked out by the crow and they (sadly) decided to shoot the crow down but before they could do so, it landed on one of the cops shoulder and dropped a key they had been searching for a long time which was a final clue to a mysterious murder that occurred very close by so that feathered fiend eventually became quite a town hero and everyone was content when he was given the prize of being a honorary member of the local zoo.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!!

N.B. The judge’s decision is final. The prize is none returnable in part or full.
