@Daeus @bluejay 904 words, which I consider pretty good for editing. What did you guys get?

@Daeus @bluejay me too! Till 9:30?

‘The girl was just sitting there— legs dangling over the edge of the bridge, slumped dejectedly beneath the weight of a soggy black hoodie.
Cobalt scratched his nose. Not the safest of places to sit. Maybe she was lost. Tugging lightly on his draggled, jewel-toned scarf, he got up from his bench and crossed to her side of the bridge. “Hey,” he…[Read more]

Yes, @Adry_Grace! Very good point.

A few quick things I love about this short— one, the body language is amazing.
Two, the structure is perfect. We open with a bored musician obviously waiting for someone to come along and make his effort worthwhile— something instantly wanted. Enter little girl with coin; want becomes must have. The stakes…[Read more]

*does quick search of her own* @Daeus I second the motion. 😛

*sigh* No such luck. The image setting hates me.

*squeezes eyes tightly shut* Please please please work!!!!

Oooooh… wonderful topic! Nice brain stretcher! Okay, let’s see here, bear with me as I try to organize my thoughts.

1. I do not believe that mercy killings are acceptable. Simple enough— I’ll explain, but gimme a moment.

Now. Why don’t I…[Read more]

Sweet. Yeah, I can definitely see why you wanted to enlarge on him… 😉
