Thanks, Falen! It's my first published fiction that's not a humor piece.

Okay Edelweiss, the "fantastic" I previously offered was inspired by the fact that you'd entered and won the contest. Another "fantastic" is now arcing over the nation from my red-clay home in Virginia to your west coastal digs because I just read your entry and that was some fine, lively, rich, dreamy writing!! Thanks for the delicious dollop.

Thanks, Zooks! Hmmm, I had thought about expanding it. I'm deep into my WIP, I guess.
On a related note, the judge commented that of all the prize winners and HMs, my story (at 405 words) was the only one not right at 500. I guess Brendalee's brother knows when he's done talking!
Yes, it's a nice reprieve from query rejections...
You should try the June-July contest!
