Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

An avalanche of wonderful prose this week, so it's been very hard to pick one, but I'm awarding our Story of the Week to Mark Burrows for his extraordinary 'The Pigeon Variant' - and please click on the link even if you've already read it, because he's added an audio version which is every bit as good as the written one. Very honourable mentions to hudsonmoon's 'At the Butcher Shop - A Craven Danger Mystery and to the real-jaw for The Author Chooses His Own Adventure. Our Poem of the Week is Ewan's chilling 'Store and Save'
