Apologies for my morning spamming, but it is in good intentions. I have missed so much so I am now in a whirlwind of catch up. Thank you everyone for your stories. It made for a pleasant morning. It is so difficult to choose and so cliche I know, but it is not about winning, these really are all great in their own right. Keep on scribbling everyone. I am definitely looking forward to more of these as the months go by.

Such a great sentiment, @Minraed . I just read / reread all the May entries, and the quality and originality is outstanding. There's something for every type of reader, too, which is so neat. I feel each one is a worthy candidate for winning which is so cool and impressive.

One of the things that stood out to me in this batch is the skillful ways writers are using screenshots, not merely to illustrate but to reveal significant elements, to reinforce symbols, and to enhance the text. Such skillful work.
