This week's Final Word comes from a Croydon schoolteacher who was twice prosecuted for obscenity:
"But no, he would not give in. Turning sharply, he walked towards the city's gold phosphorescence. His fists were shut, his mouth set fast. He would not take that direction, to the darkness, to follow her. He walked towards the faintly humming, glowing town, quickly."
The winner of last week's competition, who correctly identified Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch , is D. Williams from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.
