Before I get to winners and words.
It's fairly obvious that I am having a hard time getting things done here in a timely fashion. I know I've mentioned before that my life is rather fraught these days, and has been for some time.
Rebecca and I had hoped that by taking on the admin duties together, we could keep up. Sadly, her plate is as overfull as mine is these days.
I love Prediction, and I love doing this, but I'm offering it up to anyone who wants to take over, who believes they can keep up with it better than I have been able to. I simply cannot guarantee right now that I can be here in the timely fashion required.
That being said, I do not want to see Prediction die. If no one else can, or is willing to take on the admin duties, Prediction will continue here under the best care I can give it and I will continue to strive to keep it as current as my situation will allow.
Our winner this week is Antonia Woodville with Infinity 98: As always, Antonia, this is a beautifully woven piece. Thank you.

Winners and Words, May 18, 2015. (Because I couldn't think of a better title)
Good morning!
The Tome and I have awakened very early this morning. Good thing because it appears my winners and words post of last night didn't go through. *le sigh*
I know I've said this before, but you have made it so very difficult to choose a winner this week. Every submission this week was brilliant in its own way. I honestly feel that they all deserve to win. That being said, it is my job to choose winners, and chosen I have...
Our winner this week is Michael Fletcher with Reinforcements: This literally made me feel if I was being pushed along on rails to the end. It's that compact and slick, it's amazing. You used the prompts really well. It's a fantastic combination of subject matter and technique. Thank you!
Also winning this week is Noah Heinrich with In the Jewel of Cities (Part 2): Such an amazing sense of place conveyed in so few words. I now know exactly what such a place would feel, smell, and sound like, even though I have never visited one. I cannot wait to read more of this. Thank you!
Bait
Disturb
Joint

Also winning this week is Patricia Purvis with First Encounter: I'm delighted with the cleverness of this piece. The prompts are so seamlessly woven that I had to read more than once to find them. Thank you!
And now for our new words:
Aroma
