Mine Shaft to Hell
A scorpion with a death wish skittered onto my boot. I stomped the ground until it fell off and squashed it flat. Orange goop oozed from its body like nothing I’d witnessed before in my entire sixty years. Thousands of the darn pests had emerged since the mine collapse, filled with slime and running around…
Pell Street Blues chapter 7
LEISURELY, from his loose sleeve, the Manchu drew a paper—the paper which a few months earlier, Foh Wong had signed on the editor’s request—and which Yang Shen-Li now read aloud: “Herewith, for the sum of five thousand dollars, I employ Kang Kee to kill my wife—” Foh Wong grew pale. He stared at the Manchu,…
Kanky’s Ginnel
The cold was gnawing rather than biting: a slow, painful, rasping sensation. The lack of light in Linda’s drab bedsit – its’ one window faced a brick wall – meant it was marginally less warm than the street outside. She had finally broken down and switched on a lamp, straining her eyes as she…
THE BRAIN OF MANY BODIES CHAPTER III THE AIR CHIEF
HE CLOSED the door after him, feeling fairly confident that they wouldn’t dare raise any alarm. There was the awkward problem of explaining how a patient had been able to secure a pistol, and the patient could talk.

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.
