Halloween Contest Winners
October 31, 2010
Halloween Contest Winner:
Armies of misshapen children, plastic faces, plastic wings, plastic bags. Kneeling, we pray the door will hold. The candy bowl is empty.
Stephen V. Ramey
Honorable Mentions:
The worst of it was he’d had his heart-attack riding the ghost train. Now, however much he wailed and screamed, no-one took him seriously.
Simon Kewin
They crawl inside, rise, stand erect at the foot of Jimmy’s bed. Roach relatives of the squashed mess he left outside, hungry for vengeance.

Thanks Mike! Yours is excellent, Simon. And, Milo, I suspect they could have flipped a coin (well, two) to determine the order for these three. See you in Asimov’s soon, I hope.
