This is going to be the end of Challange number one...even though there is still about 45 mins left. I doubt anyone is typing away furiously to get their story in on time. And don't worry if you don't...you can post it any time. There are no time limits on when you can post it.
So if a kind Mod-type person could close this thread I'd appreciate it.
Thank you to everyone who wrote/is writing for the challange!
