As a prize in this year's ConFuzzled flash fiction competition I won an illustration of my story by the delightfully talented skaifox.

Special thanks to huskyteer and kandrel for hosting the competition and of course to Skai for the fantastic work.

***************************

"Admittedly that first year I made a rather shy pinstriped wiseguy but gladly back I came across the furry walk of fame."

"The rustic charms of olden Fayre were delivered with seasoned flair and return I did with dreams of jet packs and crazy hair."

"As crazy as the Mad Hatters chatter it never mattered, for the roses painted red led to more than merely voices in my head."

"So sadly did I miss the masquerade that raised the dead but for EF with open paws Berlin welcomed me instead."

"So to wrap up my silly retrospective rhyme of fuzzy memories quite divine I would simply ask, how stupid would I be to not return this tenth time?"
