winner: #55WordChallenge Week Fifteen

   Week 15 Winners, at least I hope I have the right week. Our regular judge is still having a few internet issues so you get me this week, @fetterslopez, bwahaahaahaa.  Which, unfortunately for me, means my ever-so-wonderful story is out of the running, but with the number of entries I had plenty to choose from. The rundown of winners are as follows… Drum roll please?

Our honorable mention is

“I've truly won!” gushed Tushar.

“Lilly? I'm sorry. Can you come get me?”


 Boyd Miles (I couldn't find a way to contact Boyd or a twitter handle)



Coming in at the top of the heap. The winner. Numerouno.


She stopped short, her quick pace halted by the brilliant flash of red caught in the corner of her eye, memories long buried flooding back. A phone booth. A summer abroad. A kiss that left her breathless. A perfect moment of happiness. Surroundings faded to gray around her as she felt the pain once more.
