Day 1
Round 1
“I hereby call this meeting of the One Post Vultures to order!”
“Looks like attendance is down this month, Stan…”
“We can wait. There’s an accident on the Interstate.”
“Cool! Something to do afterwards…”

Round 2
She is sure that he told her to meet her at the mall this afternoon, but he is nowhere in sight. Forty-five minutes late.
Even in the brave new world, some things never change.

Round 3
The solitary church on a winter’s day. There are no parishioners today. The building stands as a monument to potential.
Somebody should really close the door, lest the less desirable spirits show up.

Round 4
The wedding was everything they had hoped for. Their honeymoon was wonderous, but relatively uneventful.
Until now.
They walk through the rain-soaked streets into an uncertain future. For some reason, they are oblivious to the signs.

Bonus Round
The Gods held their convention in late January 2020. A motion was made to the floor.
“You know what would be funny? Instead of turning individual lives upside down, let’s do it to the entire planet.”
Welcome to the house of fun…

Day 2
Round 1
The lone figure cut a striking silhouette against the ashen sky. The full moon reflected off the cobblestone street and threw shadows of the dormant trees.
Just another late evening coming home from work. For her, ordinary. For us, romantic.
Or sinister…

Round 2
The young man often sat at the window watching the boats sail by. He dreamed that one day he would have his own boat, sailing the open sea.
His mother appeared at the door. “Dinner!”
His dreams were the only nourishment he needed.

Round 3
The swing moved lower and lower. She was mesmerized by the beauty of the falls and the spray hitting her face.
Losing track of time, she didn’t notice that she had been there for two hours. Her sorority sisters had gone to get lunch. They might not be back.

Round 4
Welcome to Iowa, where a small community shuns modern conveniences such as washers and dryers.
This simpler life has attracted retired celebrities as well. Here we see the laundry of Mickey Rooney and Zena, Warrior Princess.
Their towels are so colorful!

Round 5
The discovery of knowledge continues to expand logarithmically. The expansion is so rapid that most people can’t keep up.
It amazes me that we still have a portion of the population that thinks they know it all.
The key to progress is humility.
