Molly's Story How a sensible woman learned about love, lust, and things that go bump in the night- Finalist!
Molly was standing before a rattling window gazing out at the fierce storm that battered her little house. She was cold and wrapped her arms around herself; All she was wearing was a silk robe that did nothing to protect her from the artic draft that snaked it’s way through the cracks in the ancient windows frame. Being a sensible woman she wondered why in the heck was she wearing the silly robe and standing next to a leaky window. It was not the kind of thing Molly would have done and this fine silk kimono wasn’t at all the sort of garment one could find in her wardrobe. If she was going to be standing around looking out the window in the middle of the night, she had a fleece robe that was snugly warm and covered her sleep sweats in a very practical way. Molly was a very practical woman and proud of it. And just when did any of the windows become unstable? Molly kept the house in very good repair.

CONSTANTINE AND THE WITCH- Honorable Mentions
New Manhattan 2023.
Someone wanted the undead, dead.
From the back seat of her official limousine, Commander Azalea Kanbi of the World Health Protectorate studied Hemo Global Pharmaceuticals’ Head Office as it speared into the sky. One hundred and eighty floors of re-enforced mirrored plexi glass and a building designed to keep out UV/UB rays along with the eyes and ears of the curious.

Desires of the Soul- Finalist!
Immersed in the heavy shadows of Chicago’s South Side, Dom crossed the roof of the office building, leaving behind the incinerated remnants of his latest kill. Darkness cloaked his large frame as he stepped onto the narrow ledge high above the street and eased onto his haunches like a gargoyle in the night. Motionless, he observed his surroundings and catalogued every detail while pushing out his preternatural senses through the streets and alleys of the city, passing over the humans, to seek out the monsters he hunted.

Blood Loyalty- 3rd
The damn wiper blade had broken again--on the driver’s side, naturally. Zanna squinted and tried to peer through the rain-blurred windshield, muttering curses. The downpour on the Festiva’s roof sounded like a tinny, meth-fueled drum solo. She should have headed back from the nursing home before the storm hit, but it was the first Saturday she’d had off since she’d gotten the job six weeks ago. Aunt Millie had been so happy to see her that it was worth the hour-long drive. Unfortunately it was already after midnight. And now, with the rain, she wouldn’t get home until two a.m., if she was lucky--and she had to cover Carolyn’s six a.m. shift, as well as her own third-shift slot tomorrow night. And Mr. Padilla had fits if she punched in any later than 10 minutes till.

When the Earth Moves- Finalist!
It was a hot night, as hot nights went in LA, the cool kiss of evening found only in the teasing tendrils of an indolent breeze. It was quiet, for such a large city, although most sane souls were safely abed in these drowsy, somnambulant hours just before dawn. Overhead, muted stars flickered lazily through a thick haze. They glowed, impotent and faint, but the moon was full. There was light enough to see.
