@Chester:  My soul brotha, I'm truly sorry you've had to withdraw.  You are a creepy creepy force to be reckoned with and your contribution will be missed.  As will your sweet, sweet mouth.  But we'll make sure and save a slot for you next time around, when we do 256 contestants and all our prompts will be delivered by direct Google-Mind connection at the speed of thought.

@Bill:  Fucking welcome aboard!  I'm seriously glad that you're in.

@Everybody else:  If any more of you drop out I'm coming to your house and setting it on fire.  Don't use up all the rest of the alternates today.  We have to have some left over for when folks drop from exhaustion in the later rounds.

Not a hardcore WAR song, but it's one that wishes well, specifically for Chester. Here's to getting all your ducks in a row, buddy. Do stop round the battlefield to track the body count.

OH MAN!!

Imagine my excitement when I took a break from Excel sheets and phonecalls to see that I'm in the WAR!

Then, imagine my dread and fear when I realized I'm up against the amazing Stacy Kear.  Shit.

Still, this only makes me more resolute in crafting a killer story.  Most of the time, my tales take a little longer, have a bit of a slow burn to them, etc.  This time?  Not so much.  I'm going to write this fucker like a man possessed.

Now, watch my prompt be "clouds, rainbows and fluffy fluffy kittens."

Oh, and thanks to everybody for welcoming me to the battlefield.  Can't wait!!
