What a wonderful variety of stories inspired by our “light” prompt. We are impressed by the never-ending creativity of this group of writers! So many of the stories were thought-provoking and well-written, and we had quite a challenge narrowing down our favorites. We particularly noticed that there were several stories dealing with climate change. This recurring theme inspired us to create a new contest for everyone. We look forward to hearing your stories based on this timely topic.
Thanks to each of you for another highly successful contest!
