Hi all!

An incredible amount of quality submissions for this 3rd contest. This was quite difficult to decide upon. But, I did. And it's now up for all to see. Congrats to all who placed & received honorable mentions!  Also, thank you to all who submitted their entries for this 3rd contest.

Since my show, "Stand As 1", will be on summer break after next Tuesday night, I will be doing my 4th contest sometime in late July in which I'll be reading the winner on my 2 yr. anniversary show...assuming life still continues to go my way. :)

Thank you to everybody that came by to the show with John Heck & I, I am very grateful!

Have a beautiful day today and make great memories.

-Drake
