Winner of The In-Thread Writing Competition

What the heck, I won, so here's my award.  I won The In-Thread Writing Competition, a friendly little event where several Blogger coffee shoppers compose a story of exactly 150 words, to include five randomly picked words.  You might be amazed at how hard it is to compose something with exactly 150 words, and then find a way to make five completely unrelated words work in a short story.  But it sure is fun to try.

Here's my winning entry, the five random words are bolded:

Stories' business had improved since helping Drachma with his "little problem".  She began to grind more meat, noticing an eye she'd missed.  She picked it out and threw it in the fire.  She'd found mixing it with pork best.  Best seller, as well.

Business had been declining since the supermarket moved in a year ago.  Butcher shops just couldn't compete with their pricing, unless butchers could offer something they couldn't.  Stories' "special" blend of ground pork was just the something they couldn't offer. 

When Drachma first proposed Stories help with his "disposal" problem, she didn't know if she could do it.   "How do I do it?" she thought.  "Where do I hide bodies?"  Well, she figured hiding bones was much easier than whole bodies.  And so much more profitable. 

Looking at the blend, she had the urge to taste it.  Scooping with her finger, she brought it to her lips...

I know what you're thinking, "that kinda sucks".  I know!  Still, writing it made for a fun15 minutes.  The subject matter was actually inspired by a conversation I had with the originator of the competition, Stories -also the story's antagonist- so please don't think me so morbid...or sordid.

I was further awarded this little gem for content, which doesn't support my contention of not being so gruesome by nature.  Alas...

Anyway, thanks to all that voted for me, and thanks for the nifty award, Stories, I'm undeserving.  Next time, I want a cash award, though.
