To celebrate 1 year on The Intelligence Agency we are holding a couple of Birthday Party contests!

The first one is an Arch Villain Hunt in 50 Words or less.

Heres the Idea: You are hunting an Arch Villain. Using a given opening line, you must write a story that uses 50 words or less.

The opening line does not count toward your word total.

Still sortin' through the paperwork and the red tape, huh? Yeah, big reason why I got outta the business. Well, let us know when y'all get things sorted out, okay? Good luck!! ;-)

Hi all,

Thanks for your wonderful stories on what was quite a challenging competition. It was a difficult one to judge too, because it was obvious that some time and effort had been spent in these stories. Fortunately we get to choose 2 winners! Yay!

Firstly, the best single story. We decided that Ctown28's story about Delhi really struck a chord with us all... but I couldn't help wondering what would have happened if he kept getting repeats of "Is a man"...

Our second prize goes to the story that we thought really captured the idea of being on a Villain Hunt, linking the story and keeping the theme in such few words was a tough trick to pull off. In the we loved the mention of Cairo in the ending too. ;)

So, the second prize goes to Anikka ;)
