Today’s column is well worth reading and recommending. The results of their “Exactly 10 Words about WoW” contest were posted today. There’s some really good ones in there, both if you’re a fan of Azeroth or if you’re just a fan of really short stories. There’s even one that evokes Hemmingway’s original:

“Please, use this training sword. My son never got to.”

    I like those two in particular. I am not surprised at all that my entry doesn’t stack up, but it IS based on a true story (that Steve the Foodist is responsible for):
