That runner-up is genuinely awesome. It shouldn't be anywhere near a "bad fiction" competition. *NM* Tim Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 01:37:07 PM
Runner-Up:

Through the verdant plains of North Umbria walked Waylon Ogglethorpe and, as he walked, the clouds whispered his name, the birds of the air sang his praises, and the beasts of the fields from smallest to greatest said, "There goes the most noble among men" -- in other words, a typical stroll for a schizophrenic ventriloquist with delusions of grandeur.

- Tom Wallace
