Dear Readers, Merry Christmas to you all, What fun I’ve had reading all of your wonderful stories. Twenty-three entries and all of them written with precision, nuance and intelligence. It really was difficult picking the winners, at the expense of sounding trite, you are all winners. Writing is immensely hard, and every story is an adroit piece of prose. Thank you for the time you spent on them, I am moved by your commitment.
Wow! My health isn't great at the moment, so finding this in my inbox was a very welcome surprise.
Thanks for selecting my story. Delighted to be in such illustrious company!
Really gripping beautifully crafted stories ❤️
Dear Hanif,
Thank you for giving us this opportunity! I really enjoyed the challenge.
And the way you always choose such appropriate pictures to go with all the entries is remarkable. Very lovingly done!
Merry Christmas, and all the best to you and your family.
