Sage is Out: Judging ThursThreads

Hi all,

Ooooh, I'm excited! The lovely Siobhan Muir is hosting another ThursThreads session on her blog and she asked me - yes, me! - to be the judge!
New to this fascinating and addictive game? 

Here's how it works:

• The prompt is a line from the previous week's winning tale.
• The prompt can appear ANYWHERE in your story and is included in your word count.

Rules to the Game:

• This is a Flash Fiction challenge, which means your story must be a minimum of 100 words, maximum of 250.
• Incorporate the prompt anywhere into your story (included in your word count).
• Post your story in the comments section of this post
• Include your word count (or be excluded from judging)
• Include your Twitter handle or email (so we know how to find you)
• The challenge is open 7 AM to 7 PM Pacific Time
• The winner will be announced on Friday, depending on how early the judge gets up. 

Come on over and read the flashes and what I think of them.
