The sun sank slowly behind the far-off, face which bore twelve characters written in torn and rocky crags, throwing up a black. As the youth took their places, he twisted last red glare like a shout of defiance this Machine, so that it rang a bell, loud and as the white tooth of Herjehogmen stridently….
Lady Judith Jane Geronimo glided up the staircase, ignoring the claustrophobic press of the metal around her and the gallop of her pulse. Eyes half-closed, she made a game of her worries, as she always did, part of method acting. She imagined the announcer’s baritone, Voicing Over the soap opera’s opening teaser. “Today, the role…
Of course the war had to go on despite the quest of the missing Jerry marks. All the next day the Ninth Pursuit went about its chores in the ozone over Europe and were elated with results. Up to four in the afternoon Garrity’s outfit had knocked off three Drachen hot air weenies, a Rumpler,…
Klaxons drown out the screams. I smell smoke and the dust from shattered concrete. I’m standing just inside Johnson’s lab, surrounded by stainless steel fermenters and rows of refrigerators, in front of shelves of shattered glass vials and test tubes trembling in their racks. At the end of a counter I see the desktop…

I notice that “No Place to Hide,” posted on November 13, is not on the list for voting. Is there a reason for this? If not — accidents do happen — please add it to the list as soon as you can in that its not being on the ballot does put it an unfair disadvantage. (Full disclosure: Yes, I am the author of “No Place to Hide,” so it there is a reason for its elimination I would like to know that too). Thanks.
I was a sleep deprived idiot and forgot to list it- that’s the issue. I fixed the poll. Sorry
Accidents do happen — all is forgiven (and I’ve been there myself, heaven knows). Thanks for the fix!
Glad you listed “No Place to Hide” by Dorr, it is outstanding and it has my vote!
Am I doing something wrong? I’m trying to open these stories to read them, but can’t seem to find a link (tried clicking on the story name, etc.) I’m using an ipad, is that the problem?
On the poll you can only vote. To read the stories you have to go the stories themselves. Use the side bar, either the archives link or story titles to do that.
When does voting end?
Voting closes end of day the 7th.
