The results are in! Here’s what judge Loss4words had to say:

Runner-up:

I chose the story by SD Ryan for runner-up because it hit me in a way that I loved – getting into the head of a person that isn’t like everyone else. What is the lure of being bound? Then, the excitement of just a whispered word undoing the character, I found it so exciting to read.

Winner:

I chose Elle T as the winner because this story was purely poetic.   Everything about it was lyrical snd I could see it all in my mind as I read it.   She writes about the woman coming alive by the man’s touch and how it both sinks and elevates her.  This is fantastic writing.  I would absolutely read more of this.

The winners may now grab their badges! Thanks so much for participating, and see you all next Sunday!
