Two days to the deadline and I'm still staring at a blank document with a blinking cursor. Oh the irony.

Take the first idea that comes to your head (that is SS suitable, of course 😉) and start writing. That's kind of how I got mine moving.

You notice the blinking cursor deviates from its regularly spaced intervals. You keep watching. It’s become a pattern of brief and sustained bleeps. Morse Code! You can’t believe what it’s saying — to you — and what then oozes from your mind to your fingers onto the keyboard and screen.

Now GO! 😈🤣

Tom, if you write at the speed of light, the hours to you will be years to the observing mods. So you have plenty of time.

Gotta love a relativity gag.

Science japes like that remind me of the Amazon review of the Uranium Ore (product link sadly, unavailable now). But the top comment, a wonderful half-life gag, is still there. 🤣

Well it's the evening of the 26th here and I am in. And my story, reflects that just in time approach. I didn't notice this until about four days ago, so I am thrilled to do something so quicky. So please do read How To Procrastinate And Get Away With It.

READ IT! It is simply marvelous. You won't be disappointed.

And then there were twelve! A few hours left… can we get a baker’s dozen? smile

Given that we have entries from our usual suspects, not sure what else may be out there. Would love to see a wave on the last day but not holding my breath. Will catch up on reading the last few today.
