The Autumn season was plagued with illness' galore; our authors, our mods, and many of our members all falling victim to various flu bugs and viruses.
And it was for that reason that this challenge was extended past the deadline and why it has taken so long for this ballot to be posted.
I do apologize for all these inconveniences that you, the reader, has had to endure.
Now, back to the Challenge.
Well, I don't know about all of you, but my nails have been bitten to the quick, I'm having to look around each and every corner for potential kidnappers and I have no idea how that team of FBI agents do it each and every day!
These guys and gals deserve medals, I tell ya!

Okay, now if you haven't had a chance to finish up reading the stories offered by our amazingly talented authors then I suggest you do so as quick as you possibly can.
And.....once you are done then please click the link below and cast your votes.

Remember, voting ends on Friday, November 13th at Midnight (EST) and the results will be posted as quickly as I can.
