Fortnightly Writing Competition - “Eavesdropping” (Result)

[Mandle]

Big gratz to Sini... it was the superior story and a very well deserved win!

Now decide that next theme so I can kick Stupot's ass!

[Sinitrena]

I read back through Sini's story and the only nitpick I have is that this sentence could spoil the final twist only very very slightly:

"It sounded like it, panic convinced her that it did."

It's called foreshadowing... 
No, actually, I didn#t think this line would give anything away.

(like why she would listen to the radio feed in the first place when she didn't really seem to care about what the voices were saying)

Tradition. I'm sure she tried to pay more attention in the beginning, and tried to learn, but now it has just become a bit of background noise she can't live without. (I thought I explained this, not in these words, but still...)

Thanks for your votes, guys, see you next round!
