@ponderable saidYou did a fine job last time. I'm in favour;
So we already have a Suggestion for a Topic and two supporting Voices.
I would take up the responsibility for running the contest again...but only if nobody else wants to do it.

@moonbus saidNonsense sir, I can barely formulate a transpicuous sentence.
It is scary how Ghost has a supernatural talent for winning this competition. Still, I would consider entering, just to make it a race for second or third place.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidGoad is giving a subtle clue that he is going to be writing about Transylvania.
Nonsense sir, I can barely formulate a transpicuous sentence.
Or is he bluffing. (As in Bluffy The Vampire Slayer)
Very clever, I salute you Sir.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidProbably why you've won it 3 years in a row! 😉

@ponderable saidThank you for offering to oversee the contest again, and I'm all for the horror/supernatural, my mind barely sways from those thoughts anyway...

@ponderable saidI would be pleased to attempt a few lines of prose under Ponderable's experienced direction. He is kindly, competent and I expect, a fine arbiter of all that's fair.

I love the topic as well.
Time to consult my Ouija for ideas. 🙂

But, I sense that you're about to produce a great tale of trepidation from beneath that dusty cupboard below the stairs. You are THE GHOST after all! 🙂

@ponderable saidDon't forget the lovely Drewnogal. Her stories were well received...actually as were all of those put forward. Imagination is a wonderful thing.
Well the Ghost starts as favourite. Lets see if Mike will take part he won a few times in the past. And we always had some good stories from the other starters.

@great-big-stees saidAll of them were interesting - I look forward to this round, will not contribute though.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf that's the case perhaps this one would be more suitable 😲 depending, I suppose, on the amount of coffee consumed while writing.
