Midnight Road
Jason has been running another short fiction competition. My apologies, as I should have posted about it earlier, but I am quite sure he will run another one soon.
There really are some startling, original, clever and well-written entries, so I suggest you take some time to read through them.
For those curious, you can find my effort here.
“it brings with it as much sound and fury as a murder of wingless crows”
I love this line.
The whole piece is great, but that line… great.
Your entry is very descriptive, which of course I like. Some of the imagery I had to read over again before I got it (the murder of wingless crows for instance), perhaps because it was intended as a double entendre? Or maybe because it is 2:00 am and I am sleepy.
Either way, I liked it.
Well done.
