OK, folks. After a couple weeks of contest hype we have a total of three contestants. I was hoping for more but hopefully the next one people will be more open to trying their hand. So, here they are. The 3 entries. Please post your vote here!! so there is no dispute and all can see and count for themselves. Winner will receive this Entry #1 Captain Midnight's Pre-flight Check The fighters were parked at the far end of the field as sirens garishly blared and he scrambled to wield the top ranked squadron of P51's that belched deadly fire from six synchronized guns. As he jogged toward his splendidly fit fighter plane thoughts of duty occurred and began to strain his concentration for the daring plan of attack he'd undeniably been rattled by too much heavy flack. Had the master alternator switch been turned on? why it would blast him out of the sky if that was set wrong. What if the propeller pitch was set too high? he'd often wondered about that as he streaked through the sky. As he ran down the runway the captain absently thought of the flowers for his girl, which he had recently bought. Did she prefer pink roses or would red carnations be embraced? Well at least they were fresh cut and arranged in good taste. He thought back on his idyllic days while attending Yale flush full of serious studies and frosty pints of ale. He'd diligently schooled himself in law and competed in track right up until that day of the devastating December attack. When Captain Midnight first burst into the air energetic legions of enemy pilots were blissfully unaware of the nonpareil nerves that he brought to the fight until they were illuminated in the Admiral's gun sight. The courageous Captain then sprinted as though shot from a sling ensuring that he would be the first to take wing as he sought to do battle with the German air aces who'd had no time to wipe the grit off their faces. But wait .. what was that call that he heard as he briskly dashed then his head briefly blurred "Hey Captain you overran and forgot to climb in your plane" "Well how about that, I am under incredible strain". The moment was forgotten as he closed the planes bubble if word of his lapse leaked, he'd be in serious trouble. The signal flare then sizzled and burst high in the sky and the squadron's fleet launched under the commander's watchful eye. Fighter planes banked left and streaked straight towards the enemies lair to paste the Luftwaffe with lead, that would pierce the night air. Entry #2 On a cold and pitch dark night, ancient tracks shake with fright On railroads old filled with disdain, comes grinning bright, the old Ghost Train Why wears its engine a skull like mask? Some questions are better not to ask Once every year through fog or rain comes rumbling through, the old Ghost Train Spike drivers and Conductors know in a whispered hush how the tale did grow These rails were laid with death and pain souls burn like coal in the old Ghost Train A race to join coasts from West to East was the prideful sin that made the beast The prize - a golden spike - like the mark of Cain scars deep the heart of the old Ghost Train Its passengers wail and scream a lot forever ride this spectral chariot that collects the dead that do refrain to say why they ride the old Ghost Train Entry #3 Thanks to all!!

Nothing strikes fear into the heart of man than a giant rainbow colored space shovel!

Changing of the guard So now 19 days into the apocalypse Unforgiving sun, cracked parched lips Fires still burn on the mountains above None that remained were shown God's love Progress that took a thousand years Quickly washed away in a sea of tears Clearly the mighty impact of the winged ones fall Can be seen in the burning buildings and shopping malls The only blessing of my newly formed life Is that my family didn't survive the New World strife The devil has made known his calling card All has witnessed the changing of the guard
