I'm honored that you even mentioned my paltry effort (and I did rework it into a more "finished" story, btw, after hours!). And you have yourself to thank for the Gatto quote -- I googled him only because of you.
As for the downvote, I haven't followed any of the politics, but I'll do anything I can to counteract that silly gesture of contempt. You don't deserve that, nor do all who join you in your creative challenges!
on a well-deserved win!
I love the way you used memory in your story, @blueeyes8960,
and now, off to read after a day spent writing without following the rules and posting past deadline and feeling a wee bit silly but not daunted. #NeverDaunted!
@tristancarax - I know exactly what you're talking about - the work and struggle in judging contest entries. I ran a couple of flash fiction contests on Narrative and it is a lot of work and you want to just pick everyone for the prizes but you can't. I love the contest and I'll be giving it another whirl!
Congrats @owasco and @chireerocks.
Congrats to you too, blueeyes! I love your story. My dust vote, sadly, doesn't allow me to show how much. I do need to get @tipu working (before Hardfork, I was frequently transferring funds for that purpose).
I've hosted and judged contests too, and it really is a time commitment and a challenge to narrow it down to #1. One of these days I might try it again. Last contest, only one writer entered, but that was how I met @sarez, and that was a prize in and of itself!
The good fortune was entirely mine @carolkean . I learned from the story and the comments you made (and make here and at Goodreads). And most of all I enjoyed it.

Thank you so much! And to all the other participants for joining this crazy contest. Maybe I'll see y'all next week!
