Yes, I wimped out. I did not like the idea of choosing between two of our submissions, so I just didn't decide. So there, I came up with the idea, didn't think it through when I went first, and felt unqualified to pick.
Though...it WAS my damn idea, so here we go.
AC led the way the whole day, when I first began to read it, I was surprised she stuck so close to the feel of my beginning, then she ended with one word..."Gretchen". Now I know we all write LOL and ROFL, etc, etc, but that word actually made me laugh out loud, alone in my house. It was perfect.
Then Whirly asked if there was a time limit to submissions, I said no...I was an idiot. I have read Whirly's submission a couple of times, and I'm STILL not sure I am getting it all. It's like a surrealist painting, I see some of it, but I am really "getting" it? It was great...fuck, now what?
So, in making this decision, I have decided to go the cheap and easy route. Whirly, I'm sorry, but your submission was made too late...AC wins the first "Finish It Monday". (Actually, the perfection of the ending put her over the top, but I don't feel qualified to pick, thus the "out".)
