"Wow! So many wonderful stories to read! How should I choose...?"
Yes, folks, my contest is now OVER! A huge thanks to everyone who participated! Edgar loved reading all your stories, and so did I!
However, the time has come to judge your stories and decide who won! After much deliberation between Edgar and myself, we have decided that the winner is--are you ready?
*drumroll please!
Terri!
Terri!
Congratulations, Terri! You've won 1st Prize: $20 to spend on Evelon as you see fit! Edgar has a few words for you:
Edgar: I really liked the premise of your story. It was very creative, and I found it really intriguing. Your cold open was great, as was the way you let me slowly piece together the story. You got a lot of information in a short story, and I really liked it!
But what's this? Edgar would also like to announce a second prize winner!
The second prize winner is: Thessur! Congratulations, Thessur! Although not as fancy, you get a shiny Sun Leawolf! Please message me in order to claim your prize.
Edgar: I thought your story was extremely well-characterized. I kept thinking to myself as I read it, "That's just how little kids act!" The last line was a heart-wrencher, too.
And many, many thanks to all who participated! Myself, Edgar, and all my pets hope that you'll join us for many more contests in the future!
