    As some of you know, I'm a fan of books and have tried to write some. Therefore I think another story contest much like the other one is in order but out of metro context unless you want it to be in the metro. If so, knock yourself out but the parameters of the contest is that it should have two characters, man or woman, discussing some kind of topic be it a plan or just gossip or they could comment on what's going on around them. They can move around but no massive amounts of action. No word count limit as I know they're a bugger but keep it to a reasonable amount so no 1000 page epics.
    Prizes
    1st place=1000 bullets
    2nd place=500 bullets
    3rd place=cyber pat on the back
    Post on the thread if you're interested so I know whether to bother

    Oh boy. Should be fun I guess. Should I just drop the blurb of text here in a post or what?

    Well....looks like it's the last day, and nobody else submitted anything, so I might as well submit what I ended up finishing.

    Linkity Link
    Side Metro story, I think I set it some short time after Last Light's events. Tried it make it seem close in style to the game (random Russian words and all), with a healthy dose of internal monologue for the main character. As always, critique is welcome if you have any.

    Sorry, had mock exams, needed to concentrate on them. And I don't know if I should wait just a while to see if anyone arrives. Is that all right potarto?
