The subject of this month's contest is PHILANTHROPY.

Holy shit, I can't do this. I'm a punch-drunk loon from shlepping crap all over the place for my move and being up too long. You people know what to do, right? I don't have to walk you through this. Fuck it; if you don't know what 'philanthropy' means, get a goddamn dictionary. Then write a story.

I'll probably rewrite this or something when I get access back. Consider this the perfunctory effort of a man with much bigger fish to scale and gut.

In all seriousness, thanks to those of you who participated in last month's contest. I really hope to see more as we go. I'll set up the voting for July when I get back. You guys are pretty awesome, and I've loved everything I've read so far.

Hope to be back soon. Be well, all.
