Claire Gillian 
Wahoooooo! 🙂
Woot-woot! Thank ye, kindly, Miss Aimee!
Well done, Claire! 950 entries? Wow!
Thanks. Crazy huh! We were allowed up to 2 entries each so you could somewhat adjust the number of writers down from 950 but not the # of pieces to read. Interestingly, of my 2, they picked the funny one, not the gritty, dramatic one. And here I’d been complaining about NPR 3 min fiction contest neglecting humorous pieces and wondering / bemoaning if that was universal.
Congratulations, Claire!
Thank you so much!
