Rusty Death

Sounds simple, doesn't it?
Topics are selected by the winner of the previous weekly challenge. This week, Anima won...
The topic is: Rusty Steel..
You have until midnight on Friday April 10 to get the following in my hot little hands:
The text of your story so I can post it on the site. Just post the text of the story in the body of your email message. Do not put it in Word, Word Perfect, Sun Office, or any other document format. Just copy-paste the text into the body of the message. This will save me the hassle of firing off another program to read it and it will reduce the chances that gmail will flag your message as Spam.
If you have a blog, podcast, or other site that people can go to so they can learn more about your handiwork, the URL would be appreciated.
What you would like the topic of Weekly Challenge #156 to be. Failure to send in a topic with your selection will mean that if you win, whoever is in second place will be considered for the topic, and so on.
A recording of your story in .mp3 format. Please use your name as the filename if you can, okay? Makes it easier to produce the show quickly.
If you do not feel like recording a story for the podcast, well, go ahead and send the story in anyway. I'll include it in the show notes, but it won't be eligible for choosing the topic or winning the magnets.
Send the stories to isfullofcrap (at) gmail.com and then add a comment here saying you've sent it in.
Once all the stories are in, I'll assemble them into a single podcast collection for your enjoyment.
Good luck, and feel free to e-mail me with any questions you have.
Hear y'all in a week, and as always, keep it brief.
