This new format is brilliant! It has me wondering... what are the rules for narrative espionage? Could a writer become a 'double agent,' submitting a sequel to a story from the rival team?

The final anti-prompt has arrived: "Show don’t tell." It doesn’t feel like a challenge. It tastes like a permission slip.
Permission granted to break a rule the last time… Yes. Delicious.
Judges: Are you prepared... to be told?

I woke to the best news: a dark whisper found golden wings. Thank you @notquitewrite.com for this honor. This story is proof that a prompt can be the most powerful muse. It is about a love so consuming it must be inhaled, and the primal hunger to feel a presence, by any means necessary.

I was hoping it would be an unforgettable rendezvous. 😉 I love it when a plan comes together.
