Joined 22 Apr '05 Moves 655949 OK, lets see if we can have a new edition of the time-honoured competition.
Rules will be presented like the last one.
Now I ask everybody for usggestions about topics.
My suggestions:
nautical theme
"in a bubble"
or a picture worth 1000 words (I would look for a link to a picture, that I think is open enough for a lot of stories and is freely accesible.

Nautical is good.
What does "in a bubble" mean exactly?whatever the potential author makes out of it.
I envisage a closed system, the limits of which could be defined in a variety of ways.

What does "in a bubble" mean exactly?I grew up in a small seaside town, that was like living in a bubble and didn't really prepare me for life in a big city.
Etcetera, etcetera

Joined 29 Nov '22 Moves 5624 Well I hope to participate.
My short story skills only encompass silly humor.
I need a lot more than 1000 words for a real story.
That damn encompass word is back again! 🤔

A giant tsunami might have destroyed the city as well. 😏
