Winner: "Coed Naked Armageddon"

Our winner tells a no-holds-barred story of campus mischief run amok. Her four-part tale illustrates just how far off-course the quest for popularity can veer.

Baino!


Congratulations, Baino, for writing a story to give all parents nightmares about sending the kids off to the halls of higher learning.

You can read Baino's story here.
Baino's Muse will appear in on March 16 and the next Muse, which comes from Tom, will be posted on the March 1st. Meanwhile, dig out your water wings. We're about to embark on a month-long trip down the rapids of the River of Mnemosyne, beginning February 1.

"Coed Naked Armageddon"

We came in naked, we frolicked through time naked, and according to Tom and other artists, we’ll go out naked. (But, hey, it was fun while it lasted, right?)  So what about you? What's your end-of-world scenario?

"COED NAKED ARMAGEDDON""

Detail from The Last Judgment
by Jacob de Backer (c. 1589)


Will Good and Evil engage in the battle to end all battles? Will it be a somber wake for life as we know it?  Or will the end come with one last fling as we go out with a bang (so to speak...)?  How do you picture it?

"Beneath the Pools of Another Moon"

Ground pools of liquid erupting beneath the icy surface of Enceladus or shadows cast by an orbiting satellite? Another moon crowns the sky so perfect, white and cold it shines. Time to move right out of your comfort zone and breach the final frontier. She Writes has us pondering the celestial and the subterranean in:

Keep it clean, there are so many interpretations of 'moon' this could be an incredible journey!
