Theme:

• An uninvited guest shows up (to Thanksgiving, Black Friday or Cyber Monday)  — the guest doesn’t need to be human and, hell, doesn’t even need to be alive. However, the guest must reveal something that will impact the lives of the people he/she/it touches for the worst, or the better.

• Oh yeah, and one of your characters must be blind.

Thanks Steve and Don

Really great turnout on the heels of the Halloween OWC.
Thanks Steve & Don!

Will get to reading a little later on.

Yeah, I was happy. Thought there was only eight. Thanks!

Well, that’s all read and commented. Some unusual ideology on what Thanksgiving means. Lot of dark disturbing images to take in, but alas, writing is taking something that is and making it something it isn’t.

9 Thanksgiving scripts and 1 Black Friday, but no Cyber Monday’s… guess that one hasn’t caught on yet, lol. Great job to those who entered, and of course Steve and Don for this curious challenge, best of luck to all.

Not a lot of people reviewing. Is everybody busy until later?

I'm planning to tonight

I’ll go at it this week. I think the weekend can be tough for some.

Yep, I'm sure people will come to the party when they're free. There's usually just a flurry when they first drop.

Quoted from LC Yep, I'm sure people will come to the party when they're free. There's usually just a flurry when they first drop.

I’ve been held hostage at the hospital all weekend (working, not sick!). I’ll get some reviews up ASAP  

That stood out to me, too. Usually by now there's quite a few more reviews.

I'll be hitting hard today and tomorrow also. Sounds like there'll be others doing the same.

The scripts are surprisingly good. I'm enjoying the challenge very much.

All done reading and reviewing. Phew. I was afraid I wasn’t gonna make it, and that would have looked really bad. Anyway, just gotta submit my ballot and that’s that.

Thanks to all who entered AND those who didn’t and read anyway! Love to see that. —Steve

I didn't participate but read all. May I vote too please?
Lot's of great work, one of the best OWC's for me!

Getting the ballot link from Don and will pass on to you, Kham.
And to anyone else who didn't enter but reviewed a lot and would like to vote.
