The June challenge was to use the theme 'no enemy but time'. Thank you to those who entered and voted. Here are the June results:
Joint First Place
The day died around my hospital bed
- David Geey
And
My only excuse for being so lackadaisical in my correspondence is that the world turns faster with each passing year, and time escapes me in the humdrum of life, but I didn’t forget you.
- Sedayne
Both very poignant!
Joint Second Place
Yes... yes... faster... the kids will be home any minute...
- Rich.
Very funny!
And
Great minds still debate whether time is linear or cyclical, but that doesn't matter now as it killed them all a long time ago.
- Robinson Redmond
Very poignant!
And
The TV was still blaring when I woke, so I reached my wrinkled hand over to his, expecting warmth and love to emanate from him, like always, but time had turned always to never.
- Jodes
Brilliantly sad
Joint Third Place
We conspire in these aging dreams, vague but somehow attached to Litopia, obsessed with overweight and underthought politics.
- MattScho
And
Although Time is not tangible, I want to kill it nonetheless.
- James Charles
And
Time and time again until there was no time left.
- David Geey
And
"Time is the enemy here," he warned, though as he added "while garlic is a friend" I might have spelled that wrong.
- MattScho
And
The email was from Mr. Time, the only enemy to my clock-making business.
- Hannah Faoileán (me!)
And
I was going to propose and everything, but the train was late, and then the bombs began to fall.
- Rich.
And
When the doctor said my biological clock had stopped, I realised it wasn't him, it wasn't me, it was time that killed my chance.
- Hannah Faoileán
And
As the numbers on the screen of the arcade machine counted down towards zero, I knew my boy wasn't going to make the checkpoint, and I feared his rage, as I had no more quids in my pocket.
- Rich.
And
As I read my mother's tombstone for the hundredth time, 'She did all she could in the time she was given' I realized she was no longer the nemesis in my life - my nemesis now was time.
- LJ Beck
Wonderfully varied interpretations of the theme!
