The challenges are meant as 'special events, not as the only thing you can
post. Anyone can name a challenge, though I do prefer that you go through
me and the Rabid Woodchucks. ;)

But if you have a piece of Fiction in mind, please write it! The Rabid
Woodchucks aren't gonna chase you down for writing something that wasn't
the most recent challenge. ;)

Here we go again.

I think I remember sending out the fourth part of this already, but I
can't find any evidence that I did. And as I forgot to send a part
yesterday, I'll send two today. If you've seen part 4 before, just
ignore it.

SWEET OBLIVION - Part 4/5

A brilliant, blue flame flared to life before Shannon’s eyes. She
winced and brought an arm up quickly to shade her eyes. The action was,
in fact, totally unnecessary, due to the flare compensation system

people to realise she possessed such an enhancement. Flare compensati

Anthony glanced up as the Phaeton drew to a halt. The other two
occupants of the passenger cabin became suddenly attentive as he did
so. The first, Carl, was clad in a splendid pearl-grey Armani-Versaci
suit, just slightly less spectacular than Anthony’s. Unlike Anthony, he
did not wear a tie and the collar of his powder-blue shirt was
unfastened. Rather than a concession to Carl’s admittedly
unconventional idea of fashion, the somewhat casual dress left him with
quick and easy access to the tools of his trade. The most obvious was
the jewelled amulet that hung from the thick, golden chain around his
neck. Anthony did not know exactly what it was for, but he had seen
Carl clutch it on occasion and then throw up a magical barrier that
could stop anything dead in its tracks – be it a raging troll or a
speeding bullet or something in between – or toss a spell that could
burn the toughest, deadliest street samurai to ashes.
