Speccie Short Story 20th June
Our Jubilee poets were Chris o'Carroll and Bill Greenwell with George Simmers just missing out. I must say I thought Mary Holtby's Dryden a tour de force. Join us, Mary!
This week it's a short story:
No. 2752: short story
You are invited to submit a short story (150 words maximum) that ends with the following phrase: It is not all pleasure, this exploration.’ Please email entries, where possible, to lucy@spectator.co.uk by midday on 20 June.

Congratulations Chris, Bill and George!
I don't feel angrrrr-y like Brian, just a small 'Tut' to myself, as this is one of those for which I missed the deadline.
Brian,
Come now, you can't win EVERYTHING!!! Give the rest of us a chance sometimes 
Jayne

Jayne, you do me an injustice. Angry - me? Certainly not! I am known to my friends and family as 'Mr Sweetness and Light', except on those occasions when I'm complaining, which admittedly is most of the time.
And I am far too modest and unassuming to wish to win everything. Almost everything would do perfectly well.
P.S. Congratulations to George too, whom I missed the first time (he said in dulcet, emollient tones).

Congratulations, Chris, Bill and George - and buck up, Brian. You ought to be more like that Alban Girral fellow.

Don't speak to me about that sneaky Alban Girral. The worst of it is that I can't even send the kneebreakers to sort him out.
