    Be tough to choose...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    So, how did Penelope die? And were they really vampires? And did she have a premonition of her death? And what about the guy and his cars?

    I think I'll hold off on voting until I decide.

    (great stories by the way)

    Well, the deed is done. It may not be undone. I said the choice would be hard, and indeed, hard it was. Sometimes you feel like Barney Fife with his one bullet for his gun when it comes to voting. You only have one shot and you cannot aford to miss, so you pray you aim correctly. Que sera, sera.

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    I have cast my vote, though it was indeed difficult to chose a winner. There is a lot of talent here!

    Couldn't agree more. At times, I am glad that I don't vote!

    And now it is so close as well!

    Good reading. Definitely difficult to pick just one...but those are the rules. Seriously enjoyed each entry.
