A note about the winning story from our panel of judges: 

The Balloon Animal Artist Goes to a Funeral:  This story was beyond a roller-coaster of emotions, this story was the all-new fun park ride from happiness to hell and back. Just a quick turn to describe a few of the emotions this story takes its reader through – it starts with a belly-laugh, then that queasy feeling of “uh-oh”, then takes a turn at embarrassment, exclusion, shame, schadenfreude, and next manages to shock you (one of those deeply true punch-in-the-gut moments) then delight you, and then catapult you right back into sorrow and resigned unhappiness. It is an extraordinary story.
