Suspended Shorts

Mentlegen!

Forsooth, another (yes, another) challenge. Since we got such good results with the 'deal with the devil' challenge, I thought it was about time for a new one. This time, the theme is filler chapters--or short stories--that deal with waiting, or suspense. Waiting for that sword of Damocles to drop, the other shoe to fall, the punchline about to be delivered with bated breath. The set-up, the building of tension and anticipation should be the focus of the story--think the old Rod Serling iterations of the Twilight Zone as an example.

Can't wait to see what you've got to show!

Ok I work with this kind of thing a lot in my work (if I do say so myself) So I'll give this a wack.  Also I think I should update my avatar a bit an admin should have something a little snazzier right

Damn I've been running around a lot. I've drafted and rejected two versions of the story i want to do for this, however I think i have it down at last. Hopefully tonight I'll get started on it.
