Choosing four winners for the 50 word short story competition was really tough. They were all excellent in their own way. But here are the finalists, whose tales had just that slight edge for me. Congratulations – your ebook voucher will be coming through your email.

I really appreciate and enjoyed the anthology. You can see my review on Smashwords. Thanks again.
Thanks for the wonderful review, BC. I really appreciate that. Calling one of my stories Hawthornian was a very big compliment. Incidentally, another reviewer called it “Lovecraftian” – but I much prefer the former.
glad to help! it was a great read.
I’ve just published a free short story. Please check it out. I’d love some feedback. It’s on Smashwords, entitled ‘Chaos Children’.

Thanks, BC, I certainly will check out your story, and give you some feedback.
Thanks, BC, looks interesting, and I will certainly read it when I have some time, and get back to you.
I also meant to say (in fact, it was the main reason I came here tonight) that I enjoyed reading all the stories posted.
Thank you! I can’t wait to read the anthology.
Wow! Thank you for selecting my short story John. This was the first time that I’d ever entered a writing competition and I can’t tell you how proud that’s made me feel!!!
Well done, Lee. The book voucher will be with you shortly. A couple of tweaks to make to the ebook first – someone has pointed out some minor errors that I want to fix first.
