If you had to save just one piece of writing on ABCtales from a monster that was eating all the stories and poems in the world..

...Which piece of writing would you choose?

It's a big monster, as big as at least 20 double decker buses, all slimey and lothesome and it's making it's way across the world devouring anything that has been written down, printed, typed or otherwise shaped into words that can be read.

Slowly it's slobbering it's way through all of the libraries, all of the books shops and bookshelves, all of the archive, even through the gentlemen's periodicals stashed under beds and behind paint cans in sheds the world over.

No one knows where it came from, or how to get rid of it. The armies, navies and airforces of the world have failed. The scientists in white coats smoking pipes have thrown up their hands in defeat. Not even Professor Bernard Quatermass of the British Rocket Group has been able to come up with even a glimpse of an idea.

At ABCtowers, we've managed to come up with a plan too scientifically advanced to even begin to explain, but it's one that will allow each ABCtales user to save ONE story or poem that appears on the ABCtales.com website from the slobbering Wordovour.

It's inching it's way ever closer to Camden as I write this, so quickly make your choice...

Which piece of writing from ABCtales is so important to you and the rest of the world that you'll save it for posterity from the gnashing jaws of the lexicon lunching leviathan?

(Remember to make your case well and to include a URL so that we can rig up the technical apparatus)

I can hear heavy footfalls coming ever closer...
