You deserve it!! You better believe it. Like I said in my comment on your story, you had me at that opening line, and I imagine you had everyone else at that opening line, too. I'm so glad you won! That was such a phenomenal piece of writing that I would have been extremely upset if you had not won. I just followed you and I look forward to reading more of your stuff in the future! As a writer myself I love to see what other writers put out into the universe :P
