Second Place is by Styx-H20, a haunting surprise called "Hunting After Work"....
We would also like to direct your attention to Third Place entry "Anne Forrest's Revenge", a creepy and funny tale by our own Chaos-55...
Anne Forrest's Revenge...
Anne Forrest was remarkably well-adjusted for a Preppie; in spite of being descended from three generations of blonde, borderline-anorexic W.A.S.P. women, she had both a healthy appetite and a trim athletic figure. Sandy-haired and blue-eyed, with a smattering of freckles across her nose which did not vex her a bit, she was sheltered and naive like most Old Money debutantes, but Anne Forrest was no snob; in the milieu of privileged, snotty youth which seemed to infest the Clayton Danvers Preparatory School, Anne was actually nice.
She was also curiously fearless, and this trait caused much comment among her peers; at Taffeta Millicent Winslow's ("Taffy" to her sycophants) slumber party one night, the sudden appearance of a spider on the floor sent all the girls into hysterics (Taffy actually dialled 911 on her cell), but Anne chased the wee beastie onto a paper plate and tossed it unharmed out the window.

HUGE DEADLINE - NEWS - JOURNAL - FEATURES
:dummy: Thing number one is my group which is still here, despite the annoying fact that groups look different now. We got a HUGE deadline soon So please please bring your pulpy best writings and arts for the 50th issue. There have been some stressy work weeks in recent times, and my car, Akpo, needed some attention, so I took a 4 day weekend in hopes of getting the car fixed (cheaply) and getting some writing in. Weekend is coming to a close and I dropped $427 (with $900 of suggested repairs on the back burner), I managed to hurt my foot walking to pick up the car (which meant I didn't get out to the gym after), and the writing wasn't quite what I'd hoped. Still, another series is complete and closing chapters will be coming in the next few weeks. :dummy: Please dole out some faves and comments and watches to the talent folk who are featured here! Who knows? You might end up featured sometime! We are getting into the nitty gritty

We got a DEADLINE - Snow - Features - Hello!
Okay! I know it's been way too long! I am just 6 weeks into my promotion and it is plenty of work, believe me! Winter went and got fairly mild, but then, on Thurday, we got a slurpee of heavy wet snow dumped on us in the night and it made roads into slush... which was all not that bad... until I got to work and the building got stuck on partial power. There are generators for the building but whoever was operating those might have had no idea what they were doing, since the power kept flickering out again like every 2 minutes, so we did not get a ton of work done. :eager: You know perfectly well that we got a deadline coming up for so submit plz: :la: We need them arts and stories to get this issue to be awesome! Featured here are talented human artists who deserve some fave-love and commenties, cuz they sink time and talent into the things they do. You guys should only fave human artists!
