Can the mods list all the entries received somewhere? I may have a chance to try to send again if you didn't get it.

This has been my life's obsession for the past week and if I don't get in the hat..........
well And psrynk is dead, so no counselling
SneakySnake, no worries, we got your entry ! everyone, if you sent it to the email address we posted in the rules, there's no reason we wouldn't have gotten it. as for those suffering from PCSD*, pshrynk is available for counselling via your friendly neighborhood ouija board.

*Post Contest Stress Disorder

i'd just like to take this opportunity to say that it's great to see all the responses and how many people are participating ! everyone who participates is guaranteed a prize in the form of the "Limited" (ha !) Edition, Collectors, Omnibus, Definitive, leather-bound and gold-leafed ebook edition of all three versions of the story, which you can treasure for ever and read to your grandchildren (who will think you're insane).

We may have found the right answer, or then again we may have not. If not, it's obvious that it's the Lobster to blame. Or whoever, dead or alive, is actually writing this story. Not us worthy detectives.

I had so much fun with this detecting that I don't really care if my email got lost or if I win. I really want to be right though, but, as I said, my logic is flawless so it will not be my fault if the story's logic isn't.

Now let's all calmly wait until tomorrow.
aw, omk, that's what we like to hear ! as for the potentially imperfect nature of the logic of anyone's reply / the story, well, no comment.

I didn't expect that, I just wanted to catch some more red herrings.

If this detective Rock Lobster fella continues to ask very unspecific questions during an investigation, he won't be able to afford next months rent.

No, no. Rock does a great job...you will see. Though i guess if all of his customers are like Zelda then his carreer could end in tragedy. Rock, watch out! Do you really want to spent your remaining years bankrupt and batshit insane in a nuthouse?

I have, but since I was going to sleep outside and have little spare time I decided to leave it home. A good decision it was

I'll sleep on it and see...
I am working on it for 4 days with almost no sleep. Result: Don't forget your shower coin, even if you think about lobsters

To the perpetrator: I have an offer you can't refuse... send me one of the prize readers and I'll keep silent. All it takes is just one tap with the hammer...think about it. It is not too late for you

And as for the Lobster guy, don't worry about him. It is well known that being a PI is a risky business and no one will raise an eyebrow if he suddenly... hmmm... disappears.
