The entries for this contest took varying approaches to the theme. Our winner showed us a genuine renewal, with spring growth, and flowers, and then turned it on its head to display the death, horror and insanity of the First World War, all taking place regardless of, and in the midst of, the flourishing of spring. This beautiful evocation of a moment's wonder instantly squashed by the knowledge of imminent battle was written for us by IneptCmdr. We congratulate him on his victory, which earns him a Writers' Study competition point, giving him a total of thirteen!
Here's his winning entry:
A big thank you to everyone who took part either by submitting an entry or by voting.

Re: Tale of the Week 291: Renewal - Winner's Circle!
Many winning tales beautifully represent the theme, others daringly contrast with it - this tale manages to do both. Congratulations IneptCmdr (and everyone who entered, for your brilliant writing) and thanks to Caillagh.
