The winner of the December 2015 Story of the Month, and the $10 prize, is…

Fairy Lights

Circuses are ripe ground for mystery, fantasy, and a tinge of darkness. Ellie took great advantage of that space for imagination, and created an entry point into a massive world of speculation and exploration.
