    Virgil, you did a stupendous job on your short story. I really had no idea who wrote which story and voting was difficult to say the least; although I would still have been partical had I known the authors. I congratulate the winner! Your story was fantastic. You all did a great job on this competition. I commend you all, and I was very glad to have read them all. I admit I only had the time to read each once and perhaps now need a second reading. I will like commenting on yours, Virgil, when you make up your thread. I hope others follow your example and also make individual threads. It would be great to print them all and read at my leisure.

    Virgil, that was a wonderful story. I was torn between that one, Treasure in Heaven and Thirteen Stairs. Probably mostly between yours and Treasure in Heaven. There were so many good stories this time!

    I really liked your story, Virgil. I already told you that I was choosing between yours and the one that won. It was a great story

    Thanks for the link, Virgil. I will copy and put into an offline file and then print to read. Glad you are back!

    Congratulations to the Winner

    Too bad we don't know who you are, but congratulations to this month's winner. I look forward to reading all the winners at the end of the year. I did not vote for the winner, I voted for Virgil's story.
    I'll admit that I'm the author of Father's Day. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll post it for commentary like Virgil did. I'm just happy I didn't get shut out.
    Once again, congratulations to the winner.
