    400 words left to play with, two scenes to finish. I'm assuming any numbering/the title doesn't count towards the 1500 limit.

    ooh, i just read rames, i havent a chance if i enter mine
    though what looked like a war turned more into an autopsy on his! but about the most technical one ive seen...

    also what some others says not everyone has time 4 over 1500 words, putting in this amount as a maximum focuses on quality instead of quantity, how much can you write on decaying that is truly meaningful? this limit makes it easier to read also, much longer pieces can feel like there really dragging on, and chances our the extra work will be a waste and unnecessarily because to capture a scene you only a few words, its how efficient you are with the words which decides this, showing skill in itself if you can complete a meaningful piece of writing within the limit of words

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
