Nice. :3 I always found it morbidly amusing as a child to play that game, since I knew what it was about...I read it in a book or something.

I enjoyed the ending to this. I would really have hated to live in Europe during that time...

u r very good at what you do.

I REMEMBER READING THIS!
once again, its really really good...who'd u make the bet w/ btw? lol...
GREAT JOB it brings back many memories of SEAL class, lol

That was really good! "Slowly…I drift away…drift away with the ashes…" i love that line!! very good!

too lazy to sign in and too lazy to just write doryishness. Your story is sorta like a story I'm doing. Ring around the rosy was about the black Plauge, and you wrote a short story on that. I'm writing a longer story based on that rythem "I had a little birdie, it's name was enza, I opened the window, and in-flu-enza." (about the influenza crisis in 1918.)
Anyhoo, I liked your short story, it was very good!

Makes one remember all of the not so nice meanings behind some of our rymes and fairy tales.

Wow, this is good. I forgot that the little "ring around the posies" was based on the Plague until I read your summary then I was curious lol. But I would say that you definitely won that challenge from the other girl. Good job. :)
