Monk isn't around, so I am going to step out on a limb and start this ball rolling. I'm sure he won't mind.

So, just like last time:

Write a short story and post it on the Writers' Block by Monday, December 15th.

Genre: War.

As before, cross-pollinating genres is fine.

Your story can be set in any time period, and the tone can be anything you want.

Last month's challenge was a lot of fun, and the entries were all solid and entertaining.

Looking forward to reading your stories.

Use this thread to post your story, or start a new thread and post a link to it here.

Have fun!

As before, I'm refraining from reading until I either write one or decide not to. I don't want to create with someone else's fresh in my head.

I decided to mix it up a bit, challenge myself with a new style. It was fun to write.

I'm in. I'll be doing what Jay is doing and refraining from reading the entries until I write mine (and finish reading Dave's from last time. :) ).

Also, I'll be planning how best to smite Chris for usurping my authority. Suggestions may be sent via PM. :evil:

If there's a "Chris" character in your war story, I don't like his chances.

As is now obvious, I didn't get an entry written. I look forward to reading the entries.

I may be able to get the others read and get one written by Christmas.
But, for now, I just need some sleep.
