Default Short Story Competition [VOTE!]

Ok, so we had a short story competition, only me and Lixarto wrote something this time round, but hopefully we'll get more interest next time. Maybe with smaller/no word count....

So here they are:

'Wasted Arithmetic' by Lixarto
'Wasted Arithmetic' by Poxican

Voting closes Sunday night. Enjoy

I read yours this morning, and I enjoyed it - interesting how our ideas were in the same rough area. I like that yours was quite ambiguous, whereas I explained everything but the kitchen sink! That's sometimes the way of my Joe Bantasy stories, and I've already started work on the next in the series.

And, what, no votes?
Come on people, Nathan[1] and I slaved our hearts out to create these - get on with it!


[1] That's Mr Poxican to you.

Wasted Arithmetic by 'Kin Grumble

I hate numbers.

Life is a multiplication sum and I'll never know the answer.

So this is the End.




I WIN

Well it looks like we have a clear winner but I'll give this one last bump!
I think Lixarto's story deserves a few more reads
