Round 1: CRANE JOUSTING!!!!!!

Well, now that I have your attention.

Dark writers, I want to see prewrites, horrific, twisted, nasty, and most importantly, apocalyptic. Please offer up your vision of the end of the world, society, the universe. Depending on participation, Points and Honorable Mentions will be added. This may become a rounds contest. So, let us begin, shall we?

Da rulez:

#9 Any form, any style, just bring your A game!

#0 Label content appropriately, there's no reason for the little ones to be reading adult content.

#@%*! Play nice, folks. Manners are social lubricant! Please, no bashing of anyone.

#18643 One poem per customer and I will comment on every offering.

#9 Have fun! That's an order!
