This award is for the best short story. A short story is a story with just one chapter, yeah yeah... I know you didn't need to get that explained. The story must be done, unfinished stories will be rewarded next year!

And the nominees are:

Author and story
Nominator and motivation

This story is wonderful for its capture of a moment. It's even more wonderful because it arises questions like; what happens next and what was that last night like. ;)

I love a story that raises questions!
