So many almost stories in the list - goes to show how subjective this process is. If I don't comment on why I didn't accept it, there's a good chance it's all gut feel & mood music. Really - it IS me, not you. Room for one more tiny one in Issue 7 if you've got something to tickle my fickle fancy

I have room for a couple of more stories after a morning when I accepted two and declined a few more. So pleased with the ones I am bringing you in July - how about completing the issue by sending me a zinger of a flash?
