A Picture is Worth...

Our picture last week generated a wonderful little ficlet from Carole Cummings, and a bit of a challenge, too! Carole left those guys in the lurch, and offered to let another author sort it all out. Anyone up to the challenge? Take it from here.

Now, about these guys -- why are they shoving each other around? Are they shoving each other around? Anyone who has the answer to the question in 100 to 1000 words can have it posted here with links, covers, and news. (Check the link upper left for more info.)

The rest of us will watch these guys jostle for dominance.
