True that. The word limit and reader expectations made this one extremely challenging. I even had to only submit the first
half of my story because it was too much to fit into 5000 words. Of course, I figured it wouldn't matter because I was the only entry... (dammit Crixus...
)

We'll see how Dysole likes my entry, it's hard to say. Honestly I'm willing to take the hit if it means getting the contest back on.
