I really enjoyed it. Short and sweet, too. It was a good view to one thing and that was losing. It was good you kept your focus on it.
I dunno if you did this on purpose or not, but the 'Strive for Five' was in the 2009 tournie. The 2010 tournie was for six and our streak ended at five.
I really liked this. It totally sucks to lose, especially a game as big as this. This just proves that having someone like he does makes it easier to handle. Well written. Good luck with the contest.
