Thank you for participating guys. I will ask you not sway any votes until the final round.

Thanks, Mitch. I'm glad I saw it through. :)

Thank you to Poly and Azigarath for your contributions in Round One. Your entries were both great and it's a shame you won't be able to participate further. :(

Only five votes? Wow, not many at all.

EDIT: Whoa, what an interesting, and potentially difficult, challenge. May require some research.

Woo! Part of the fun in this contest is waiting for the voting results. Hard luck, Poly and Az. Both entries were fantastic.

Oh my! A philosophy themed round? Bring it on. I studied Philosophy for 2 years, so this very much appeals to me. This could be interpreted in many ways though, as there are far from few philosophical questions, many of which have existed for centuries without a real answer. ;)

Wow, I just scraped through! :D Unlucky for poly, because I really enjoyed her story.

This next challenge looks epicly awesome ;) I love a good old philosophical mind bender every now and then! I beieve I already have my story sorted in my head...really looking forward to writing it I must say :)

ps. Leb, I'm also an Aussie.

EDIT: question for Mitch, just wondering if we could reduce the number of days for voting, 3 days seems excessive, and seeing as only 5 people voted...i'd give it a max of 2 days. I hate waiting. :D

Aeraie, as long as it is philosophical, fine. It is a very wide theme.

Snowbuster, I know. There is a reason why I left it wide open.

Rune Wolf12, I am just going to leave it at three. It gives people enough time to vote. I'm just ashamed only five people voted.

God is dead.


I watched in a silent, screaming horror as the plane screeched far above my head, slamming its angry girth straight through the top of the North Tower. I remember the confusion travelling like a wave over all of us watching, taking our sanity by force. I don’t think a single one of us watching believed what our senses told us as we stood paralyzed, stuck to the ground. A moment of silence gripped our chests, wrenching into our hearts as we fumbled over what to say. That moment shattered as the screams began and the sobbing resumed. As for me? I just stood there, mouth gaping in disbelief. The crisp air burrowed deep into my clothing, but I never noticed. I must’ve stood there, paralyzed to that one square of ground, for what seemed like forever.

Then, at 9:03am on the morning of September 11th, 2001, a second plane soared above us all, burying itself within the middle of the South Tower. Flames began to consume the building, making the inside a likely inferno. I opened my mouth to speak – to scream – but my voice and my faith were gone.

God is dead.

Hysteric tears streamed down my face. How could this happen? How could this be real? How could our beloved God let this happen to us? How could this be a part of the grand scheme? How could things ever return to normal? How could – why would God do this to us? To me?
Sobs racked my body as my instinct took over. I curled up on that cold September pavement crying, not knowing what else to do with myself as I shook with utter disbelief. I watched those two towers burn through my blurred, teary vision. A part of me told me to run, but curiosity made me stay.
