The challenge for May was to write one perfect sentence using the theme, moral conscience.
Great interpretations, many poignant, from all who took part!
For this month only, the winner will receive a special prize donated by @AgentPete: a copy of his client, Bill McGuire's excellent and thought provoking The Fate of the World.
Here are the winners:
First Place:
By the time the police knocked, I had already decided which lie to tell.
- Rachael Burnett
Second Place:
AI may speak with a human voice, and it may eventually walk with a human gait, but it will never have a moral conscience - just the veneer of one.
- Claire G
And
Paul read the kidnapper's demand: if you want your wife back, you will kill your mother.
- RK Wallis
Third Place:
If it weren't for his moral compass, he'd blast them all to kingdom come.
- James Charles
And
The people who stayed silent before now raise their voices and fists in outrage that nothing was done sooner.
- Jodes
Special Mentions:
This month's guest judge is @MattScho - an apt choice as he has often-times recounted incidents, during is journalistic work, where he has escaped a close encounter of the dangerous kind with morally dubious character(s)! His choices are:
Remember, the three hats are a binary choice, Harry, and you don’t get to choose – that would be unconscionable.
- Dan Faulkner
And
The compass lay in the dirt, cracked and dented, points barely legible (good, virtuous, noble on one side; bad, nefarious, evil on the other), its red and black arrows jammed to the far right.
- Mel L
Matt said, "I think they give the most latitude to the participants. Everyone can come up with a tale that will involve three hats, and the compass in the dirt is wild with possibilities."
Your Litbits are on the way. @Rachael Burnett, @AgentPete will be in touch to give you your prize.
Well done All!
