@lailawrites - Blank Face
Three weeks earlier, I was drinking instant coffee at my kitchen counter, scrolling through emails. The pay for this job was twice my normal rate. Client wanted someone erased from every database - government, private, everything. Not just killed - completely removed from existence.
🥈 ** Silver: 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points4, 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE**
@alonicus - Assault Zeppelins
Sand crunched as the submersible grounded on the darkened beach. An inch of the black-painted boat was visible above the waves lapping the shore. The stern of the vessel was down a little and washed by the waves.

Hey @kemmyb I think you accidentally transferred to me instead of the winner
@kemmyb I have sent back the 3 Scribe and 50 Scholar. You can send them to the real winner!
Sorry about that. The mistake was mine. You are the winner. I just realised after sending that the memo should read "Winner of Fantasy/Heroic Edition", not Thriller. 😄 You are the winner and so, I'll be sending the tokens back!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dang, that was really confusing!
I thought you had sent that to me ages ago and since this memo read Thriller, I thought it a mistake.
Thank you 😊
Thanks so much ❤️
!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL !PIMP
Thank you ! Sorry I left it a few days before replying, it's been a crazy, crazy kind of week !
But I think I might have an idea for the horror prompt, just need to let it marinade inside my twisted evil little brain for a little while longer 😁
Congratulations @alonicus and @lailawrites, and thanks for your work on the invitationals @kemmyb and @grocko Looking forward to the entries this round!
Awesome! Well done to the winners!
Congratulations to the winners from the so-called biweekly. My recognition to all your creative talent.
The new call is captivating horror and suspense are mine.😈
A hug!
