shares pot! Let's all thank 
for the additional SBI and also for delivering today's script. This week, our special guest writer Cyrus wanted to experiment a bit with a genre that slightly deviates (but I'm not entirely sure about it) from our usual twilight-zone mood: historical fiction.
and donated 1 SBI share, raising the pot to 5. I love when this happens because your creative efforts totally deserve to be rewarded. Talking about rewards, it's all a flourishing of interesting contests on Steemit. Gamification is truly something when it's about empowering the crowd dynamics. The best reward here, as I see it, are the great interaction between all the participants and the renowned quality of our works, the way we have fun together as a community.. what could we wish for more? Who's ? (from the author's mouth)

Third Wheel Coming
Some years had passed since the Priest of Durham married The Lady of Berwickshire to her Scottish Prince.
The time drifted along peacefully as he’d settled back in his role with the people.
And so, as he had way back when, he rode his horse to the Durham seashore to watch the waves and pray.
Only far off upon the horizon, he could see a ship rowing toward him. As it got closer he could see the danger and rode away back to the village.
Ulfric Red Beard and his Viking army landed on the shore then moved inland.
The Priest of Durham made it back to the village in time to warn the constable. The constable alerted the local militia. The nobles were notified and scrambled knights on horseback.
When Ulfric Red Beard reached the village he met the English forces defending the town. The Vikings outnumbered them 3 to 1 because of the element of surprise.
Ulfric Red Beard stood seven feet tall, a giant in the 1490s, he walked onto the battlefield, raised his battle axe above his head, and yelled foaming at the mouth:
“I’m going to behead the first Englishman that steps within reach!”
Just then the skies opened and an alien spaceship appeared from nowhere, hovering above them.
The epilogue of these events got lost within the folds of history, due to memories being purposely erased. However, there remains the following one last account of what took place that day.

made a spot on comment about the fact that it might become a veritable fruit salad fish at some point. I agree with her and probably it would be a good idea to make this account become the home of the contest and create a team running it, plus some delegations for giving good upvotes to everyone. Time will tell!
