The Story of the Month is chosen from the Story of the Week winners announced from the past month.
The finalists for November were:
The Last Day I Wore My Wedding Ring by Guy Preston
The End by Alison Carroll
The Death of a Dream by Devon R. Widmer
Blind Date by Matthew Gregory
The winner of the November 2015 Story of the Month, and the $10 prize, is…
Blind Date
I had a hard time selecting a winner, because all four finalists were really strong, each in their own way. In the end, I chose Matthew Gregory’s entry because of the powerful character building, the establishment of a well fleshed out scene, the advancement of a very nuanced plot, and the emotional investment the story elicits. There’s so much room to explore this world inside your own mind.
These are all such well told stories! No doubt you had trouble choosing a winner! Congratulations Matthew Gregory for a brilliant piece … great story-telling to all!
