I nominate "When the World Goes MAD" by myself, so that the link gets more people to read it(that's my excuse  ).
Anyway, I edited the post, and removed the bit where I said I second Obsession, so people who read the nominations aren't biased by my opinion(like anyone listens to my opinions ).
So here I state it again: I second Obsession by Grundel.
Chris

I'm withdrawing When the World Goes MAD, cause I don't think it will do at all well, cause I haven't got time to finish it at the moment.
Maybe in a later contest when I have had time to complete it.
Instead I second "A Tale of Two Gardens".
Let's get those prelims going!
Chris
