This is a great entry into the contest. I definitely prefer the first ad. Title is excellent, "People are dying to live there," and description of "setting yourself up with a new crib." Creative and interesting. Marilyn

Wow, what a clever write. The author was able to comply of course with all the requirements in this writing prompt entry. I would never be deceived with the ad in house rentals I guess, especially if it sounds like hell. Thanks for sharing.

Okay, I had to read the first ad twice to realize it wasn't a play on the city of Paradise lost in the Calif. fires. Both ads definitely fill the bill for the prompt. Good luck with this.

Very good ads for the rental properties. I think the descriptions of both are great. I have rented in both places in my life, but hope to rent for purchase in the heavenly one.
Good ideas and is a great entry.
Good job.

Hi, Earl,

Your entry for the contest is well-written and clever. This contest comes up at least once a year, and I am always amazed at the things folks come up with. Good luck to you with this entry,

All you can eat buffets? There just might be a little bit of Heaven in a rental at 666 Inferno Drive. Still there's no air conditioning so I think many would prefer a place on Paradise Lane.
Well-written ads with great selling points for both places. It comes down to one thing. Who is the better deal maker? The experienced carpenter or the silver tongued property manager?
Great job.

Hi Earl, one rental from heaven an one from hell. On the face of it the first one would be from heaven and the next one from hell. But from who's viewpoint? Maybe the second one is the one from heaven and the first one would be seen as one from hell.
All depends who's looking at it. Good luck in the contest. All the best. Ulla:)))

Decisions, decisions... In my younger days I'd probably gone for the 666 residence.
But now that I'm older (and wiser?), I'd definitely go for the Paradise Lane...
It sounds Heavenly!... My compliments on this well written piece!

Good post for this competition, although it's hard to be truly original for this prompt. It's quite restrictive.

I know a fair few folk who would regard the second one as heaven too...lol
Maybe try to vary the variants of rent/rental a little. Five mentions in the first five lines alone in the first advert.

Best of luck
G
