The winner this time is a first with the prize being split between the 2 entries:

First Place
And She Was His Beloved by susie
and
White Widow... by Ted

I've already forwarded the $36 ($72 / 2) to each participant via PayPal.

Thanks to both writers for their entries and great job to both. 

Thanks so much, Miraenda. I'm so pleased! What a great surprise! Most appreciated and the payment will help a lot. Congrats, Ted!


Kind regards, Susie
