Bulwer-Lytton Update

The results are in from the annual Bulwer-Lytton writing contest. Named for the mediocre Victorian novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He is the person who penned the infamous opening line: "It was a dark and stormy night". (And you probably thought it was Snoopy, who started all his work that way).

The winning entry from this year's talent pool is this gem:

Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean.
