Three stories read so far and it's looking like a good, if small, field. I'll keep at it over the next few days. Good job, writers!

I've managed to read all the entries in so far and like you, I'm really impressed by the variety of stories and interpretations on the theme.

I got my entry in. I've never been to Mardi Gras so I'm afraid you're stuck with fecking pancakes.

Lol, I wasn’t last! Left it late, but got it done, well except for being unable to attach a pic.

I’ve read all the stories, just excellent, though interestingly more horror (including Verbal) than I was expecting. James’s ending gets the prize for most horrific ending, though Brad’s was more horribly realistic.

Interesting to see what the judges make of this. The Mardi Gras parade in Sydney is on Saturday, the city is full of colour and the summer weather is great, should be excellent and hopefully not at all horrific.
