Thanks very much. This one took some work to keep it at 100 words, so I'm glad it had the desired effect.

This is a First Prize winner, if you ask me. Josh Tatter understands the genre and masters the language.

Wow. Incredibly done. The atmosphere was really vivid and done with so few carefully chosen words.
