You may nominate any piece that has not previously entered the story competitions. The entirety of the piece must be new and it must confirm to all rules in this thread.

Wait, what? Half the reason for my writing Phoenix was as an entry for this. There were no opening times specified in the original post, so why is there one now?

The thing is we don't want recycled entries coming back into the competition, however I have figured out a new wording.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the edit, I completely understand the motivation, it's just that the original post left me solidly under the impression that the 'start date' was from then onwards. I hope you can understand my frustration at having a piece two days out from qualification otherwise!

I nominated it in the original topic yesterday but forgot to do so here as well; I'd like to formally nominate SquigPie's Touch (A Visitor in the Night) for the competition.

I nominate CommanderJB's "Phoenix".

Whats going to happen if we are the only two to compete? Will the contest deadline be pushed? or will the contest be cancelled?

There's alot of people who said they were going to enter. But I don't know.

As long as the dark foundation of our nature, grim in its all-encompassing egoism, mad in its drive to make that egoism into reality, to devour everything and to define everything by itself, as long as that foundation is visible, as long as this truly original sin exists within us, we have no business here and there is no logical answer to our existence.
Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.
