Below are two very recent stories--the first (listed below, only just made the cut) because the second ( also listed) was the original, - intended comp story, but just kept growing and had to be pared back to even make the standard 10000words. That delay meant that the actual entry was on deadline day.
See if you can see the umbilical cord that joins them.
