Thanks, I will edit my comment.

Thank you, judges, for your time and input on my story. It was fun to write. Congratulations winners! Your stories are great.

Thanks to all the submitters...great reads and thanks to the judges for all your had work...a lot to deal with this month. As usual I enjoyed reading (which I don't do until I've written mine) and writing my entry. I still have a long way to go...but will keep learning and trying. So...looking forward to the next one.

Yeah, I dont know that you did get the pun. It had nothing to do with laying still, you can render a body with the chemical lye much more affordably and cleanly than you can by cremating them. It isn't a wide spread practice yet and if you wanted to dispose of evidence I reckon that this would be one way to do it. You should pick up Stiff by Mary Roach, its an incredibly interesting read.

What, all three of us? lol

I got the pun, just didn't think the story was so hot. You only used 178 words out of 500, so you left a lot on the table.

You missed about four commas and had a fragmented sentence. It was a good idea, just needed a more polish.

Wow, it feels like it's been ages since I've been on here. Been on vacation for a month; only paused one afternoon to write the story (a shameless mimmic of my previous story - I don't think I would even rate it so high as the judges) and haven't been back since.

Thank you judges for all your wading and weighing. It's difficult, I imagine. We've all got lives outside this fuzzy land; might be hard for some of us to keep things together. It looks like it's my turn to play this rubber band game of life for a bit. Getting stretched pretty thin right now but I hope to make it back for the next challenge.

Idea for next challenge: You wake up in an underground Lithuanian prison, rock walls & ceiling, with a metal door. You don't know how many guards there are, but you must escape in less than 36 hours. Why? That's up to you. How? Again, that's up to you. Stories must be 937 words long. Oh, and you've got a spoon, your hemp prison uniform, shoulder-length hair and a thin piece of wire imbedded in your left calf to aid you.

I know I'm a little late (been busy) but congrats to the winners and thanks for the comments/compliments, judges.
