Wednesday Reading

If this were a modern elementary school, we could be assured all the entries below are winners. But this is life. There are only two winners. Get used to harsh reality, Sweetheart.

Watcher's Council members will submit their choices for first and second in each category to the Watcher of Weasels, who will do his incantations before releasing the results, which you'll see here Friday morning.

Happy reading -- and may the best writer win.
