I will decide the winner and runner-up by next week. The crew over @CRIMEFACTORY want to officially announce the winner and runner-up in whichever issue they decide to publish the stories in, but I will get with the winner and runner-up offline once I've made my decision. A huge, resounding THANK YOU to all the contestants, to PAUL D. BRAZILL for hosting the contest on his blog YOU WOULD SAY THAT, WOULDN'T YOU, and to our judges ALDO CALCAGNO, STEVE WEDDLE, JOHN McFETRIDGE, STACIA J.N.

Congratulations to both the finalists. Also to Paul for all the publicity he diligently and relentlesly gave to this contest, it wouldn't be the same without the big bamboozler.
