<h2>The Seven Deadly Sins</h2>
<p>When the gauntlet was thrown we had to compete against one another and write seven sinister stories — each based on one of the seven deadly sins: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath.</p>
<p>Each story also had to be written in flash fiction: fiction of extreme brevity!</p>
<p>With a rush of adrenaline, a flurry of words was forced onto our computer screens — some in a less than gentle fashion. Soon our creativity was polishing the sentences and we hoped the paragraphs told each story in a manner unique to its author. Some stories revealed the entrapment in a single scene, others exposed the characters’ fall from grace over a longer period of time.</p>
<p>Over all, these short stories accomplish their mission and show off the seven deadly sins in a style that is easy to read and hard not to enjoy.</p>
