    It is the 9th night of voting and I fear my sanity is beginning to fracture as the alligator flashes his toothy grin at me. I brace myself for his attack.

    “You know, you humans have really become insufferable ever since you shed your tails.” the alligator says while purposely wagging his tail as if to taunt me. “Sadly, you’ve evolved into a bunch of self absorbed ninnies.”

    Tiring of the gator’s persistent psychoanalysis over the last 9 days, I ask, “Don’t you have an egg somewhere that needs sitting on?”

    “Oh, good to see that you are using that bloated frontal cortex for something useful.” the alligator snorts, “Like mocking a fellow species just because they happen to be oviparous. Yet, what can one expect from a species that evolved from baboons whose idea of entertainment was throwing turds at one other.”

    “Well at least we humans are still evolving.”

    “Just goes to prove that our species is superior.”

    “How’s that?”

    “Darwinism doofus.” The reptile replies, “Alligators have been fully evolved for millions of years; hence we’ve achieved perfection, whereas you narcissistic apes still have a long way to go.”

    “We are not self absorbed.” I protest.

    “You most definitely are. In fact I can prove it. How many times have you checked the polls today?” he asks.

    “Not that many.” I argue.

    “Your denial is astonishing. Well I counted, and you’ve checked over 30 times.”

    Tiring of his prodding, I pull out my Droid.

    The alligator laughs. “Hell, you are checking again right now, aren’t you?”

    “I’m just checking my email.”

    “Liar.”

      Finally finished reading all of the stories and voting in all of the groups.

      It was great fun and a great learning experience. Thanks Dan.

          Your link on here paid off And thank you- I loved Under the Dome and have always wanted a SK signed book, so I couldn't hardly pass it by (even though we are pretty tight on money right now). I am fixing to get you paid here in a minute, but I had to wait until I got home from work so I could update my shipping address on the Pal.

                  You know I’ve developed palpations through this process, Dan? Too, every time I enter the bedroom of the house, I notice there are more clothes missing from my wife's wardrobe. Either she’s having an affair, or she can’t live with me giving her an hourly update of the polls. So yes, I may lose my wife and my heart to this competition.

                    Whew! I've finally - FINALLY - finished reading all of the stories. Although my story was leading early and has now dropped to third place in the 4th group, I feel honored to have been a part of this contest and I congratulate all of you who are leading your respective groups and heading into the "nail-biting" round. Hope to see more contests of the like in the near future.

                    And I may be sending a story or two CD's way, now that you guys have seen my work and know my name!

                    Congrats again to all!

                      Hi Kevin,

                      I'm honestly shocked your story didn't keep right on top. You've really got talent. Keep it up!

                        agreed. I like a story where the dialogue tells the story which I feel yours definitely did. You got my vote!

                              I've got to add to the bandwagon Kev. You got my vote, too. I'm not sure why you aren't leading, either.

                              I'm finally, FINALLY finished with reading and voting. A lot of good stuff here. And since I've started to catch up with MLD in my group (after a very slow start) I've started the compulsive vote checking. Maybe there's a story idea for all of us. A sort of Poe tale of obsession in the modern age.

                                No offense to the other great stories in group 4, but I also voted for Kevin's piece. I'm not familiar with his body of work, but I really enjoyed his story.
