    We had seven entries in February. Usually one busy month is followed by a more quiet month.

    There wasn't any sort of promotion or a deadline advertised for this round of eliminations. Having looked through the original info about the 2008 competition I found the deadline hidden in there, but it wasn't exactly clear or easy to find. Will there be any promotion for the next round?

    We do not usually promote each round as the deadlines are clearly stated within the Competition Rules.

    The next round will be in June, which means you can submit your stories during May.

    Was a really difficult decision.

    True, both stories are equally engaging and interesting!

    To be honest, having only two entrants this month, I was hoping that we might have more votes.

    Only two stories?! I'll be voting by the end of the day.

    "Only" because we had seven stories in the previous elimination.

    And here's a KitKat for voting today:

    Well, if we could only get two, we got two hard choices... To vote or not to vote and think about it a while longer... hummm.... Well, it's a deep subject...
    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 voted, but both stories drew me in and kept my interest high for the entire read. What a difficult choice .... but my vote's in.
