And now, the one you’ve all been wating for, the Big Kahuna, the ficlet that makes us roll out the red carpet. The “Ficlet the Meaningless Number, Challenge the Second” challenge is over. It has all come to this. The winner of “Ficlet the Meaningless Number, Challenge the Second” is…

[pens&feathers]’s Henry on the Dock! (Confetti, money, etc. rains down)

This ficlet included vivid descriptions and a tearjerking story all packed into one. We find beautiful word integration, and just by using five words throughout a story, we find Henry, well…on the dock, remembering “her.” She leaves nothing but a memory and a plaid flannel shirt. Woe is Henry. A moment of silence, please.

And then an earsplitting burst of applause!
Congratulations [pens&feathers]!
