Somehow, this story by Tom got eaten by a grue at Gmail, so he re-sent it and I’l posting it as a featured story.
Please treat the comments section here as where to vote for this story in the polls.

It was the bottom of the 10th at Wriggle. 10th game of the series. Ernie Banks the XVIth was at full count 10 fouls in a row. The cubbies needed a run to stay in the 3010 series. The pitch was high and outside. Banks cranked his shoulder twisted his wrist. The crack echo across the stadium. Deep deep into center field a rookie number 10 for Houston leaped against the wall. As ball met mitt he heard a whisper from the stands. Good job son. Said old Bartman to young Bartman one down 10 to the third to go.

My apologies to Tom for it being eaten and my not including it in the Weekly Challenge with the others.

We don’t talk any more about the VOICE. It just made the people in the neighborhood hinky. True, ever single thing said was spot on, all the same torches and pitch forks in the front yard gave one cause to pause and consider a trip to Paraguay. So what I did was ask the VOICE. He thought is was a great idea gave me a number of reasonable airfares and hotel accommodations. The VOICE gave me GW’s cell number and I got a job as his new public relations manager. Seem the VOICE gave him the inside info on Paraguayan Expatriatism.

This was Tom’s story for WC#118, but it got lost in the shuffle.
I have created two folders: This Week and Last Week.
It should help with keeping things better sorted out from now on.
