I NEED BEER

Another short story contest down the tubes. Okay, I'm over it. Getting on to August's. DON'T OPEN THE BOX is proving harder than it sounds. Am I really so petty that I care one way or another about a bit of shiny under my avatar? Yeah.

I really wish that I could understand what people think is good or bad about stories. There is a tie for July. One of the stories I thought was about as interesting as vanilla pudding. It was okay but nothing to mention on social media. The other had a good beginning but kinda lost it at the end. One was dark and one was light. They both used the prompt. These were the two best? The mind reels. Maybe I'll figure it out one day, like quantum entanglement.
