Kelly (Lynn) Parra said...

I enjoy reading all the contest entries, Jason!! :) :)

Beth said...

I just read all the entries back to back and wow, great reads! I didn't know to comment separately or right here -- since this is my first time in the online contest world -- so I came here.

Nicely done, everyone!

Jay said...

Wow, what an index!

Alas, I've not come up with anything yet - but if I don't think of something in the next two days, I'll at least enjoy reading all these entries! :-)

Great entires, so far. I would like to comment on the troubling trend of wives being offed for not doing the dishes, though. Seriously, folks, for the love of all that's holy, hire the Missus a maid.

Wow. That photo sure managed to bring out a lot of darkness & creepiness! Not too many people focussed on that nice bit of light coming through the dropped curtain, did they?

Pallav said...

Hey Jason, life took the better of my time and just got to know about the contest through BD, I have sent my entry, hope you can include it.

Thanks. :)

Thank you for your support. Always. I am not a fancy writer. I am a simple writer. My passion is to bleed the truth and my pain from my veins, as a red river of beauty turns into the blue ocean where I will always swim to horizon, that place where sea and sky meet, that place where the edge of the world meets the edge of me.

Jason — Your contest is inspiring. I love all the entries, the discussions/commenting and the community. Very invigorating!
