Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week.

The story of the week is a tie between new member SilverFish and old-hand Stephen Thom.  

The two winning stories are very distinct from each other yet share similar themes of painful memories and thwarted relationships.  SilverFish's A Basketful of Angels is positioned in the Deep South of America and recounts the awful events of a lynching through a child's eyes. Stephen's story Passing Through is about a relationship gone wrong and the narrative turning point is at once metaphoric, haunting and sureal.

Both worthy winners:

A Basketful of Angels

Passing Through - 2/3 - Passing Through/Stuck in a Fence

Bee's brilliantly honest and brave poem was a daily pick and is now promoted to poem of the week.  Well done Bee:

The Waiting Room

This week's inspiration point:

Tramp.
