Winners

The Grand Prize: Through the Lens of Unknowing by Diane Foster

Prize: $5 tip

What I loved: Sometimes a story grips you from the first line! This story lured me in with its intense prose, building drama, and a sense of panic! Excellent job!

Runner-up: Mist and Smoke by Mother Combs

What I loved: Creepy cat! I loved the taunting, creepy cat leading her into madness. (Not that I would want anyone to experience that, except fictional characters! :-)) But it was a great read; intense and suspenseful. I completely enjoyed it.
