Voted.

Two very excellent entries this month; congrats and thanks to both authors for providing such rich reading fare. I was unable to come up with an ending for what would have been my entry, but after reading the other two I realized my idea just wasn't up to snuff. Again, congrats, and looking forward to the next challenge!

Thank you. I hope you will still post what you wrote (after you finish it). It would be nice to see.

jespah · March 30 2013, 12:04 PM

Agreed - would like to see what you came up with.

Cobalt Frost · March 30 2013, 04:20 PM

Thanks, y'all! I will be sure to post it.. assuming I can concoct a decent ending.

Whereabouts in Michigan are you, HaventGotALife? I'm in Shelby Township, close to Mound and M-59.

I'm north of the Palace.

I couldn't decide between the two stories. So I rolled a dice.

Cobalt Frost · April 2 2013, 01:59 AM

Yeah, it was a tough call this time out.

Saito S · April 2 2013, 11:04 AM

Baaaah, I misread the closing date for the poll - thought it said the third. Whoops.

I just finished reading them and went to go vote when I saw it was closed.

Oh well.

They were both good, though!

HaventGotALife · April 2 2013, 03:52 PM

Congratulations, jespah! I enjoyed your story as well. It will make a fine addition to the thread.

jespah · April 2 2013, 05:37 PM

Oh, thank you so much!!

I am surprised as I liked your story and I hope you will stick around for more challenges - including my own. I will put it up today, see about getting us back on a monthly schedule.

Thank you to everyone for reading, reviewing and voting. That makes this experience sweet for all of us (I think I can speak for HaventGotALife in that respect).

I forgot to put 2013 in the title - is that necessary? If so, I cannot fix it.

Thank you and good luck!

Count Zero · April 2 2013, 07:59 PM

Congrats, jespah. Don't worry about the thread title. I can change it.

jespah · April 2 2013, 11:05 PM

Oh, thank you!
