Firstly a very big thank you to Gloskat for her brilliant alphabet challenge idea which has been a resounding success and has only five more days to run. You can find it here until the 18th:

It's been a very strong week for prose this time around. I've really enjoyed w.w.j.abercrombie's Michael, celticman's Awaiting and SoulFire77's three parter The Lady in Sycamore Lane:

My choice for Story of the Week goes to mac_ashton's The Politics of Concrete which is hilarious and terrfyingly believable at the same time. It's one of his best:
