Aaaaaand the first prize goes to the 55-word masterpiece by.....[drumroll].....@Rabdizz!
For second place, we have a tie between three awesome stories: @gehan99 , @gajenmahen and @wIkIfReAkz !
Here are the winning entries once again:
From @Rabdizz:
Diplomatic /dɪpləˈmatɪk/
adj.
1. Of, relating to, involving, diplomacy or diplomats.
2. Using or marked by tact and sensitivity in dealing with others.
Like father, like daughter - they say. Born in to it. Corps diplomatique. But they’ll never know I learnt it all at my mother’s skirt, keeping fists from reaching her face.
From @gehan99:
She traipsed out of the changing room and eagerly asked me, “Do I look sexy?”
I looked at her and said with all the love I could muster, “No.”
Stooping down, I gathered my surprised little 8 year old in my arms and said, “Not sexy, but beautiful, princess.”
No point being diplomatic about that.
From @gajenmahen:
“Bala, sending two of my chaps with kokkis. Amma says you like them.”
“Ok machang. I’ll let the boys know”.
“Have you any of the mangoes left?”
A diplomatic coup.
One was a Captain of the Sinha regiment and the other, a rebel spokesman- both friends from school.
The occasion? Sinhala- Tamil New Year, Jaffna,1986.
From @wikifreakz:
Mankind's first diplomatic visit to Delta. I felt goosebumps..
"Reporting from Delta.. Over!"
*
It's an honour to dine with Emperor Devgn IV. I'd read once:
'Deltans [déltünz], inhabitants of planet Delta', known for neutrium
fuel resources and 'Kandor' festival held every summer..'
*
'It's party time baby,' checked the menu:
'Kbat,
Tyal,
Kasipz,
Dessert: Diplomat..'
"Oh!"
Note: We'll be back with a new word tomorrow (April 9)! Stay tuned.
