Judging is 100% completely subjective. I will choose my favorite story. I will also choose the runner-ups, based on which stories I like the best.

Lannie the Lizard Speaks Out
"kids, let me tell you something important. There are things in this world that you might think look like monsters, but we can't help the way we look. Mother Nature planned us that way, so that this world would never be boring. Pretty cool, huh?"
Love the pic, don't care about the prize! Thanks for today's inspiration! Jo
Carla -- Have stewed on this one all day! The Iguana reminds me of the lizards that lived in the corners of my bathroom ceiling, my bedroom and in my dirty clothing at a silent retreat I attended in Brazil. I realized my challenge was to become comfortable with myself when I wasn't in my comfort zone. The only way I could live with the lizards in my room for two weeks was to befriend them. I asked them to stay out of my space, and I would respect their space.
No flash fiction on this one for me. But, I will say he does look very regal, alert and peaceful. :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog today!

Thanks, Abby, I'll definitely pick it up!
Hi Lauren, It's nice to see you again.
Hey, Jo! Thanks for playing! I love your story! I probably could have left out the prizes, but it seemed like fun to throw something out there! ;)
Patricia, I love the picture too! Of course, I do like lizards too... ;) I especially have a soft spot for iguanas--my brother and I even had one for a pet when we were young!

Carla,
This is a fun contest! If you need to get a hold of me, I'm over at:
The Write Soil
Here is my entry:
"You will do as I say," Greelich said.
His intense stare made the others look away.
Stadrum could only stare at Greelich razer-sharp claws, the ones that had ripped Blectrim to pieces. He gulped. He had no choice.
He nodded his assent and slithered away to do Greelich's bidding once more.
What a totally fun contest! I'm going to have to think on it a bit and come back!
Carla! Congratulations on reaching 111 followers! You'll get more I'm sure of it. This sounds like a fun contest...Hmm. I'll have to think on it!
