All change, please, all change: Round 5 Voting
1. Every autumn the drying wind blew away a little more of the fragile soil.
2. That summer a water diviner named Michael Horse forecast a two-week dry spell.
3. Perhaps I will see them again in the smoke of the fire or hear their voices in the quiet rumble of the trucks passing by over the far side of the valley.
4. Benoit Blanket stuck a knife into his wife one long late August night, but a person couldn't honestly saw he was exactly responsible for her death.
5. When gold was discovered in California it brought down a swarm of ravenous hunters who left a trail of death and abandonement in their wake; for a time it seemed that Oklahoma's black gold would do no less.
6. Some said the oil was the reason.
7. "Injury!" cried the boy as he ran past.
Plenty of time to consider your vote: the deadline is this coming Monday at 9PM BST (GMT+1). I have deliberately tried to be slightly mean-spirited in the way I've grouped them (see what I did there?), but then I have a really bad headcold, so maybe only I find it sadistic--or even amusing.
