The winning entry- The Curse of Dirty Dothan

A bit later than anticipated but here it is. The joint winning Dirty Dothan story from the workshop; The Curse of Dirty Dothan Marsha Mindfull normally kept away from village fetes but something had drawn her here today. She approached the hall recognising Daniel's footprints in the snow. She reminisced about the time they went skinny dipping. His big footprints nearly revealed their affair.

I have now decided to embark on another venture by becoming an Ambassador for a company called Tropic Skincare.

I was the bookish studious one, never interested in relationships. Sharmaine was never without a man. She...
