The Story of the Month is chosen from the Story of the Week winners announced from the past month. The finalists for February were:

Paradise by Matthew D Wheaton
Closing Time by Steve Lucas
Year’s End by Devon R Widmer
Death and I by Clio Velentza

This set of winners was among the strongest I’ve seen since the Story of the Month award began! It was hard to decide, but the winner of the February 2015 Story of the Month, and the $10 prize, is…

Closing Time

Congratulations, Steve!
