This was the fifth week of the challenge, and as expected, it was different as fewer participants made mistakes. However, we ignored the entries with a few words here or there, but the ones that went way over or less than required received fewer marks. This week's prompt was a real story that I have used before but in a different form. This story is spread all over the internet and print media, so I was expecting users to find an easy way but thankfully most of them not but used their own imagination. We received a total of 40 entries, and consider all of them valid, barring a few that did not follow the stipulated terms or did not read the prompt carefully. They received lower marks for not following the rules, especially for not reading the prompt properly. As expected, we received no entry with the use of AI, or even if found one or two such entries, they passed our analytic assessment. ##### Participation Statistics Total number of entries: 40 ![Screenshot(2099.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU7iCdPrHzmBTywfsZpMAm4A383ZpEQ72wJjaLvJkBZHL/Screenshot(2099.jpg) *Highest Score: 9.4 /10 *Lowest Score: 7/10 ##### Countries at a glance ![Screenshot (3089).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNnHdnCD3vjM4fG6AiTwopMcKvgPSViqjNBy8PpEnaybN/Screenshot%20(3089).png) ##### The majority of posters were from: ![Screenshot (3090).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTBr9CaZ83ugbRGtWLPCixusNgexp9LRiZMeGraTLgkLL/Screenshot%20(3090).png) *Venezuela *Nigeria *Pakistan *Bangladesh ##### Post moderation stats ![Screenshot (3087).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRwq6UCofHwiuq88h4cVUMMC43fnoe8ACZ98nyufTc1Bn/Screenshot%20(3087).png) ![banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb43m4pVhxPEyDYe89gSoZb4G7s8ikKwqKVyfEjHubVKs/banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg) ##### Conclusion We chose fictional story writing as the subject of our challenge, and we are happy that we met this challenge to a great extent. I am here with a hearty thank you to all contributors for their quality stories. The number of entries, even if reduced compared to last week, shows that the participants displayed their skill in writing in the fiction niche; therefore, we are hopeful the number of participants will increase in the concluding week. Our team did their best efforts checking the posts based on the set criteria of content: story setting and world-building, originality, formatting, presentation, uniqueness, and, of course, rule-following. It was not easy, but we selected our top 6 winners purely based on points obtained. #### The Winners of the Week ![Screenshot (3097).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQX9xJm8YZEd2g1F7mkjUUDAWVT6QvP9Br3MnxQPWgC96/Screenshot%20(3097).png) *Congratulations to the winners for their efforts, imagination, and story-building ability.* #### Summary of the winners ![banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb43m4pVhxPEyDYe89gSoZb4G7s8ikKwqKVyfEjHubVKs/banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg) Post-1

The angel in disguise nodded, wide-eyed. “All is intact… but, uhm… there seems to be some kind of mistake on your papers, sir.” “What do you mean… what mistake?” ![banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb43m4pVhxPEyDYe89gSoZb4G7s8ikKwqKVyfEjHubVKs/banana-leaf-910810_960_720.jpg) Post- 2

Decidieron retenerlo unas horas más mientras seguían investigando la procedencia de aquel personaje… pero cuando regresaron al lugar donde estaba sentado, él ya no estaba. Aún no lo sabe. Lo único cierto es que, desde aquella noche, sonríe con más sinceridad. Y por alguna razón… los niños la miran como si la reconocieran de algún otro lugar, o tal vez, de otras vidas anteriores a esta. @oneray [This post is live for the next four days](https://steemit.com/fictions24wk5/@oneray/wordsmiths-fiction-week-5-season-24-the-mysterious-passenger)

@edu-chemist "Could it be a possible misprint?" Helen asked. "I doubt if it is. Look at this." Chuks pointed at the embossed seal. It has a rising sun, an open eye and a word "Abasiki, the land of clarity. "I think we call Idara, the Intelligence Officer." Chuks added as she left hurriedly.

@anasuleidy Las computadoras comenzaron a transmitir un mismo programa, era como un noticiero pero quién hablaba era un alienígena, el cual cargaba una cinta presidencial y el terror se apoderó de Elisa cuando vio que en la parte de abajo de la computadora decía que ese alienígena era el presidente de Chopotelurin.

@casv María dibuja una mueca en su rostro, no podía creer que tal país existiera, mientras recorría meticulosamente las páginas selladas por los países que comprobaban los viajes por Brasil, Italia, España, China, EUA, Alemania, Suiza, Ginebra y Japón. María Pérez con tanto años de experiencia, seguía sin resolver el enigma tan desconcertante del origen de la República Bananera.
