Ahoy, Hullabaloo! Well, we didn't have a contest today, but rest assured that this is still in the running for the Weekly Winner, so please keep it in your portfolio! I'll try to get the WW's caught up this week or next! This is pretty neat, and I like how you used that 'scab' prompt. You did a great job of showing us how the scab kept growing, and you didn't give any hint at all how it would turn out until almost the very end! To quote the late Jim Neighbors of Gomer Pyle fame: "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" What's more is you didn't go into gory detail with this. Writing about something like a scab would usually entail a bit of grossness if the wearer to try to remove it, but you didn't have to go there! Not that there's anything wrong with 'blood, guts, and gore', but you did this with class, and for that I thank you! Oddly enough, I have a similar short story (998 Words!) I wrote a few years ago if you'd like to check it out: "Scales" Well done, Hullabaloo! The spelling and grammar was flawless, and that ending was both excellent and original! Kee ponw ritin gon, thanks for entering the contest, and have a fantastic day/evening!
