As you can tell this wasn’t an easy choice to make. It took all of the judges some time, but in the end DRUM ROLL HERE . . . . . . . . . .
Shelli wins for “Like all my birthday parties, my own funeral is just plain boring.”
The final judge wrote: ” . . . there is something behind the words that needs to be figured out, and it’s compelling enough to grab the reader’s attention.”
Okay, writers. Let’s see your stuff. I can’t wait to read the next wonderful submissions.
Congrats, Shelli! Great first line!!
Oh, that’s a hook alright!

Congratulations to Shelli, and to this site, too. I signed on as a follower, loving the atmosphere here.
