    Wowser…spoilt for choice! Thank you all for taking my three little words and turning them into lots of great stories. As always, the three objects were used in very different and clever ways. So…

    Sandra – there’s something about a pipe-smoking detective, isn’t there? Lovely piece, with the rat almost in the trap until the detective took his eye off the ball.

    Janette – loved the idea of Pammy sampling Bert’s wacky baccy and dancing round the garden! You turned what could have been a sad piece of writing into a real comedy.

    Libby – loved the pictures you drew here. And the fact that the focus of the investigation had such a clever association with a street lamp…

    Seagreen – the sun is bedding down behind Marley Jenkin’s shed in a corona of red and gold tie-dye. Simply gorgeous. This was a real kicker when I got to the end – was not expecting it at all.

    Alex – loved that your narrator got into so much trouble, and not for disposing of a body!

    As always, there has to be a winner and a setter of the next challenge, and for me, that’s….drum roll…Seagreen. Basically because the story of Betty hit me right in the feels, and yet it didn’t feel like a sad piece at all, it was full of joy and friendship and fun. Well done.

     

    • Thank you for a good challenge, Squidge. Congratulations, Sea, well deserved, though I enjoyed all of the other stories too.
