    Dear reader,

    The four short stories included in this ebook were selected as finalists for the Best Short Stories of 2013 Award and were published during the month of December, 2013. Fans, well-wishers, and reading enthusiasts have selected this years top short story from among these distinguished finalists. The results of this readers-choice poll are as follows:

    I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I, our judges, and all the wonderful readers at justinblaney.com did.

    Your friend,
    Justin Blaney
    Editor of justinblaney.com

    PS, I included one of my own short stories as a bonus, fifth story at the conclusion of this volume. This is the first in a series called Isfits, which you can discover more about at isfits.com
