I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but didn't think it would be "sooner"... and it came within a hair of being MUCH more severe. 

We have a tie.  kizzy   tamara_in_jakarta ,thephantomq , yamyam_kat 


So it's a 4 way tie and 2 of these contestants will be eliminated.  It came within a single vote of being a 15 way tie!!!

Due to circumstances beyond my control (Debby) I will not be able to do the standard "24 hours to write a new entry" standard run off. So instead I'm going to generous and give you 48 hours to write a new entry.   :) 

The 4 of you will write an OPEN TOPIC entry.  Which means it can be anything you want. It's your neck on the line, so bring your A-game!!

You will link your entry back to the thread I will be making below by Monday August 5th at 8pm ET.  Then a new poll will go up for the new entries. 


In the meantime a new regular prompt will go up as well for everyone not in the run-off. So keep an eye out for that one as well since the survivors are going to need to write something for that!
