Vieille? MOI réfléchir pas! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d050.gif

Did that mean " Old? I AM old!" ? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/v...edene/f047.gif

And I don't believe it! The competition is so close! The Swan is taking the lead with 2 votes. http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/v...edene/d050.gif

No, Flower. Scher speaks French, and mine is poor, but roughly it means: "Old woman? I don't think so!" ;)

OK I voted. It was a tough vote. At some point or other, each of the four stories almost had my vote. They were all great, but they all had some flaws too, if you ask me. I finally voted for The Killing Word.

If it means anything, I had my wife read the stories too. She is not a member and so she can't vote, but she enjoyed On Terrapin Pond best.

Oh okay. I don't speak French, that's for sure. And I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, Uncle Pen! http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/072.gif

My Flower doesn't offend me http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/shocked/Voskl1.gif

I read the four short stories last night and I must say they were good. I'm hoping to make up my mind in the next couple of days as to whom I should pick.

Great! :)

Make sure to cast your vote by December 31st, ktd! :)

Aye aye aye but how this has progressed! Oh the agony of waiting!

Without a sharp swing in another direction, I'd say our winner is comfortably set! :) A close tough race, and one no story failed to garner votes in. That's what makes a good race!

Um, planning ahead, where do you submit stories for next year's contest? I might have somethin' lyin' around here somewheres I can use . . .

Zanna, have a looky here for futher info/rules :)

Thanks! I'll have to get crackin'. :)
