How would you describe a breathtaking sunset? Why no come along to the monthly comp and put it into a short story? It’s already half way through the month, it would be great to get a few more entries.

I sometimes think a robot would be better at identifying the traffic lights than I am. Hang on, maybe that’s the point…

Those blasted traffic lights. I’m always relieved to get the fire hydrants. I think I’m becoming a fire hydrant fan.

Good to mix things up with the occasional bit of fire hydrant. But where’s the other street furniture? Why can’t we identify some litter bins for a change, or bike stands or something?

Dogs. I want to identify all the dalmatians in a field full of friesan cows.

I once saw a dalmatian in a field full of daisies.
Re street furniture, it could be the tables and chairs a coffee shop blocks the pavement with in a town near me.

Sunset
The sun melted into the horizon like a knob of butter in a frying pan and behind it the sky was on fire, itโs flames dancing on the restless sea. Soon, for this was the tropics where sunset and darkness are never far apart, a million stars would come out to play. Frank and his sister, Sarah, sat shoulder to shoulder, their feet half b…[Read more] -

One of my favourite scenes in one of my favourite books (The Love Song Of Miss Queenie Hennessey), features a beautiful descriptive of a sunset. I love sunsets; the colours within them and the effect they have on landscapes and seascapes.
I want you to write a piece which features a remarkable sunset. Brownie points if it plays a significant part…[Read more]

Well it was a small select number of entries this month…well, two months! But they were none the worse for being that.
@Athelstone – a tale with sinister overtones… having been on the business end of a cat’s claws more than once, I’m glad my scratches didn’t end up this way.
@Janette – such a poignant story. I fully expected this to be linked…[Read more] -

Things that go bump 5 years, 11 months agoIt certainly was memorable. A superb short story with two perfectly-flawed protagonists. The first challenge on the new site – started on the Cloud and rebooted here.
