The winning entry has confused vanes for blades. A vane aligns a device to the direction of the wind. It's the blades that chop up the sparrows. Unless annoyance at technical inaccuracy is part of the intended effect. |

unless they were vanes, and she had sharpened them, because she hates birds... |

Tears ran down Mona's face, her mascara running now, leaving long dark streaks upon stained cheeks, not unlike skid marks upon an oily road, which had not received rain since 1982. |

That next sentence better be "It was the summer of 1982." |

As the dark and mysterious stranger approached, Angela bit her lip anxiously, hoping with every nerve, cell, and fiber of her being that this would be the one man who would understand – who would take her away from all this – and who would not just squeeze her boob and make a loud honking noise, as all the others had. — Ali Kawashima, Greensboro, NC LOL! |

Funny to see the winning entry coming in at under 30 words -- I've been a long time fan of the Lyttle Lyttons, a variant on the competition favoring brevity. I mean, as the opening sentence to a book you really don't want to read, it's hard to beat: Pika ... chu, thought Pikachu. ('09 runner up) |
