Butcher
Sebastian Stiles called it art – to me it was butchery of the most violent and monstrous kind. I am a hollow man, a wretch doomed to an afterlife of purgatory and everlasting suffering and this destiny is exactly what I deserve. To serve a man like Stiles was not without benefits, social standing came without question, endless quantities of money and good times to name a few, it was all there. Mr. Stiles became the toast of the town and I hung onto his coat tails and relished every second. However, that was two years back, now I speak these words as I languish in my cell, it is a foul-smelling detestable place fit only for the rats and eight legged creatures that roam freely amongst its dark corners of damp and disease.

My Soft Spot. Runner-Up in If Walls Could Talk.
“If walls could talk.” Yeah. People say that all the time. But do they ever listen? We rumble and fall, creak and groan. We crack and ache, listening to the mundane and the weird, the exciting, the pitiful, without any choice in the matter.

The burning house
If walls could talk, they would tell countless tales. Stories of every kind would spin from the brick or stone or wood of their surface. Sonnets of love, tragedies of heartbreak, epics of war, fairy tales of ancient times, fables, legends, tall tales, and parables would all be told. If walls could talk, you would listen to every word with delight. They would transport you into the past, into glimpses of lives lived, moments made, journeys taken.
