Posted on r/WritingPrompts: [PI] Explorers - FirstChapter - 2105 Words “Hurry up Michael,” the woman urged as she led the way forward through the brush. “Ease up Raine, you know I’m an academic right, not a field researcher?” Michael said between short breaths. It was true, he wasn’t used to this much climbing. They were almost at the hill’s peak, but the vegetation didn’t seem to taper off. The trek from base camp had taken them the better part of four hours, most of it only under the light of the second moon.

My vote goes to Stay Out of My Path by /u/MindInTheClouds, it was the one I most enjoyed reading.
As an aside, I want to say I’m very happy I made it to this round of the contest. It’s a pleasant surprise since I basically decided to join at the last minute and rushed out an entry on the day of the deadline. This is officially my excuse for any poor editing on my part :D
I’m fairly new to this sub, so IDK how often contests like these are held, but I look forward to participating in the next one (and I’ll try to start earlier next time!). I’ve already learned a lot, and I’d like to say thanks to everyone who read my entry and who voted for me and gave me feedback, it’s been great :D

So, this probably makes me totally self-serving but I might as well ask: am I allowed to vote for myself? Lol, so that I don’t get zero votes! :D

Thank you for the kind words!
There are still places in the world even today where villagers bringing vegetables to market happens on a regular basis, mostly in rural areas in less developed countries. I do however agree that I might have chosen some other activity to better represent the period :)

“What? Where?” Steve muttered over the cackle of his walkie-talkie. He dropped his fork on the plateful of bacon and started packing up. “I’m nearest, I’ll be there ASAP. Have Glen and Lynn follow me as soon as possible.” His companion was looking at him quizzically from across the table. “Relax, John. You didn’t screw up this time. In fact, I guess it’s time for your trial by fire.” He got up and tossed him the keys.

“I don’t understand,” Liz said, scratching her head. “What’s not to understand?” The old man looked at her with a look that was somewhere between condescension and amusement. “There’s simply nothing there.” “You mean like, no one lives there right? Behind your house? Or is it just a steep cliff that I’d fall off if I tried to walk into whatever that mist is?” The old man shook his head, “No, no.

/u/GenreBless in group F for “At A Loss”
Honorable Mention: /u/startoffs for “The Playmaker”. These two felt like the most well-written to me, I had a hard time choosing.

Posted on r/WritingPrompts: [PI] Two Monsters – Flashback - 1,885 “If you’re going to kill me, then kill me,” the old man said to her without a hint of fear or desperation. “If not, then stand aside.” “Are you kidding?!?” The young woman in front of him was tall and stocky, her outstretched arm holding the outgun steady not five feet in front of the old man. At this range, she would not miss.

Thank you for the kind words. I have something rolling about in my head about how Alex and Harry’s relationship devolve into what it’s going to be. I may write it up someday.

The building had a nondescript white exterior, with a single grey metal door on the facade and no other hint of what lie within. I tried the knob and a metallic rattle told me it was locked. I frowned, then remembered, then pulled out the mysterious envelope I had found under my door yesterday. I mean, 93 years from now. Well, not 93 years from now for me. Yesterday for me.

A high-pitched bell rang out a couple of times as I stepped into the diner. Outside had been slightly chilly, the first hints of the coming winter lingering in the air. Inside I gratefully took off my cap and laid it on the counter as I sat down and waved over at the middle-aged lady brewing coffee on the other end. “Fresh pot? I’ll have some if that’s alright. And any bacon and eggs you have,” I found myself saying, surprisingly famished.
