Thanks for all the comments, I do have to say though, it wasnt a dream. The guy at the end was the human waking up not where he was last and not knowing how he got there. I guess i should have tried to make that more clear. Being my first story ever. From comments i guess i have the promise of getting better LOL

Good luck to all the round 2 contestants and congrats to Guardianlurker for the win.

I understand that it wasn't a dream, but it was definitely confusing. You don't necessarily have to beat your readers over the head with your point, but sometimes you have to hold their hands, or stand next to them and point at what you want them to see. Don't be in any way discouraged, as a first story it really was very good. Don't know if you saw Herremann's crits of my stories in last year's CDM, but let me tell you, I still have the welts. That being said, the crits are always helpful and I love to write for CDM because of the combination of having to stretch myself to write fast, often on subjects I would never touch, and because after, I can count on feedback. Sometimes stinging feedback, but feedback. Keep writing! If you're interested, Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott, Steven King's On Writing, and Steering the Craft by Ursula LeGuin are excellent books for new (and old) writers.

Slight delay, folks. Pictures won't be up till later this afternoon. I got called out to a client on short notice and forgot to copy the pictures to my laptop.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll scoot home as soon as I can.

Cool, thanks. The delay actually works better for me anyway.

Mmkay. I hope I won't be sleeping by the time they're in.
