Now I really like this one. I haven't read them all yet but it looks like you'll be getting my vote. You said so much in less than 10 words. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Mystery Writer

Certainly such variety of topics in this contest. Good wit and a timely concept. I see no reason why bank managers couldn't make a good soup. :)
I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxoxo

This is such a challenging prompt! You do a lot with your few allotted words, fitting in an implied beginning, middle and end. Good luck in the contest.

Bank closed due to austerity. Reopening as soup kitchen!

this is saying an awful lot with only 10 word. There is humor in it and also a ring of truth.

Well don and good luck in the contest. Mary

Now that is thought provoking. Could it really happen? Banks aren't known for kindness so it would seem ironic if it did happen. A lot said in a few words. Best of luck in the contest.

The "kicker" there, in the last part, is excellent. Found looking for a better, or other reason, for a bank to close. I came up with, to... bad loans, poverty, fled manager, "closed when" called by higher service. Anyway, I'm looking for a more interesting word than "austerity." Sorry to quibble so much over one word. Wouldn't have bothered to critique it, if I had not liked it in the first.

I loved this, short and (not so) sweet, way past time too I'm guessing as they do nothing but take and take. Thanks for a laugh as well.
