It Was A Dark And Stormy Night

Congrats (?) to Seattle resident Molly Ringle, named earlier this week as the 2010 grand prize winner in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

Her entry?

For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one
another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss — a lengthy, ravenous
kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a
giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest
gerbil.

Stories here and here.

Perhaps if I had Ms. Ringle's way with words I'd have better luck convincing law review editors to publish my UCC papers!  (Or am I dreaming?)
