My Dears,

First of all thank you for your wonderful entries to the contest 💜 I am tickled pink that you all participated.
So here are the winners of the contest :

Honourable Mention

Goes to @seesladen for his entry Artificial Desires about the consequences of dabbling in the creation of life without taking responsibility for it. Thank you for your entry 🙂💜

Third Prize

The third prize goes to @acousticsteveo for his fun story about how we are living in a alternate realty and were saved from the apocalypse by an AI called Life Generator XMP (you do know that there is a juicing guru wit that name yes 🤣). You made me laugh with some of the political easter eggs in it that are just so you 😄 💜

you will be receiving

0.264SBD
0.022 steem

since the post received little payout I decided to include the steem generated as well it is still close to nothing (my apologies ) 💜

Second Prize

With her wonderful tale of Ursula @calluna. Ursula who is a recurring character of Calluna’s found her happy ending here which made me happy 🤩 I really loved this story, especially because it points out how callous humans can be when it comes to life that is not of our species. thank you for submitting it 💜

First Prize

Goes to @dirge with his piece I, Thoth. This piece really struck a nerve with me. One of the recurring shadows over my life is the way we humans treat and disrespect non human life. We are so arrogant and reckless because we have no one who holds us accountable for our misconduct. This story points out that this accountability might be waiting for us just around the corner to tear us to shreds. Thank you for your entry love 💜

you will be receiving

0.264SBD
0.022 steem

plus the 5SBD grand prize (in about 2 days as I forgot to transfer it from my savings, where I had stashed it to protect it from my forgetful mind. Old lady brain I swear 😄).

All of you once again Thank you so much for your participation
I was honoured to receive your beautiful work 💜🤩💜
