I am grateful to everyone who participated in the very first Fantastic Fiction Contest.

There were some amazing short stories and judging was difficult.

I realize it is a few days early, but I decided to announce the winners right away.

So without further ado, the winners are as follows:

1. @joe.nobel with Scandal at Valley County
2. @mctiller with The Dog Walker
3. @shevy with Sarah's Story

Here is proof of payout:

Get your pens, pencils, keyboards, or crayons ready--the 2nd Fantastic Fiction Contest will be announced sometime next week.
