Not exactly the kind of race I’d imagined, but very good play on words! I think I’d be nervous too, not sure if you’re delivering a regular baby or one of those “new” ones. What do you tell the parents?

Nice to see you bulldoze the writer’s wall down—even if it wasn’t writers block at all. Glad your back.

I always try to look for those kinds of plays on a word or phrase in a challenge or inspiration when I can find them. It’s fun and mind-expanding. Great job!

Great twist. The Great Rural (“old” doctors, family “clans”) have always been and will always be the home of Significant Change. (How’s that for a lack of perspicuity?)

Great twist on a seemingly simple challenge.

Now that is the type of ficlet I’m looking for when I post something like that: something intriguing, stylistic, and definitely not what I expected. I love to see what different people think. This could almost be the beginning of a series.

Oooh. You have me fascinated. This must be continued, but I can’t compete with you. Just can’t do it, sorry.

Love how you used the inspiration!
