And the winners are. . . .

It was really tough to pick "winners."   People put time, care and effort into my little project here (now our project by virtue of your participation).  I really, really appreciate that. 
 
To those of you who submitted audio recordings: I am particularly grateful, not just because of the extra effort involved, but because you put yourselves out there.  It can be hard enough to submit your creative writing for public scrutiny.  But to lend your voice to it as well is a bold offering well outside the normal boundaries of our daily lives.

Conference Call, by Ben Wimmer
 
The contest is over, but I'm still accepting submissions!  It's not to late to get your story in the game!
