Not enough time to write though, apparently, as we received an all-time low four stories. FOUR!
A due date doesn’t have to be a start date, gang. It doesn’t matter when the Super Bowl falls if you’ve got six days leading up to it. Oh well.
Thanks for showing up! We gave two golds and two silvers.
Here’s a TZ episode I haven’t even seen, but now want to:
“Twenty-Two”
Written by Rod Serling
Directed by Jack Smight
Originally broadcast February 10, 1961
During Season 2, a budget shortfall led to six episodes being recorded on videotape rather than film to cut costs. While those episodes ended up being more stagebound than most (no exterior or backlot shooting was possible), the claustrophobia of filming strictly on a set greatly aided this small tale of a woman who repeatedly dreams that she walks down a long, dark corridor to the morgue, where she is greeted by a nurse who says, “Room for one more, honey.”
Of course, it’s only a dream, right? But as any “Twilight Zone” fan will tell you, premonitions are meant to be heeded.
Write a story about a long hallway. I want to see where you take us. This will be the final story of the regular season as six of you will then graduate to the playoffs; you will get 1000 words for this one as a season-ending gift. Have fun with them, okay?

I thought we were getting reminder emails!? 😫
Everything is so sporadic that it’s hard to remember which Sunday is an actual due date and whether it’s Sunday or Wednesday. Or maybe not due at all?

It’s always been Sunday. Always. And all but two Sundays have been due dates. It’s not as sporadic as you think.

Seriously. I can set my clock by the Sunday night Sarah Wreisner “when will results go up?” comment.

I asked Kelly why there were so few playoff spots a few months back, given there were like 24 people playing. He said probably half the bunch will drop out so it won’t matter. Little did he know.

I didn’t submit because I felt like no one cares about this season. 😦

Well, there’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
