Hey folks. Looks like I’m on time with the update this week!
I actually spent a good half hour choosing the Editor’s Picks this week. So much excellent writing to select from – you guys really outdid yourselves! Thanks for all of your contributions. I already have material ready for next week… but that all depends on what the Protagonists come up with this week!

He spat, mostly coughed up blood from his punctured lung, heaved and sighed, laying flat against the hot pavement, while he was gradually enveloped in an expanding circle of crimson. He gazed blankly skyward.
