Greetings and Salutations to All You Essayists!
I must say what a challenge it was to scientifically select the winning yarn this week. You all know how I love a challenge.
It took me 40+ hours to build the spreadsheet in which I downloaded all the pertinent data from the marvelous narratives you presented to me. I calculated length, proper usage of words, including but not limited to the “WOW” effect. I also took into account characters used delineated by their dialog. This, of course, was all part of a formula that the probable quantum winner could be selected from.
Anyway my computer’s hard drive crashed like a Big Dog from input overload, so I just read the stories and here is the one I like the best. With no further ado…
…the winner is Meg.
Meg, I really enjoyed your story and I’m sure if my computer would not have crashed it would have picked you, too.
Carpe diem,
Dilton
I missed the part between " You know how I love a challenge" And " Anyway my computer’s hard drive crashed "
Dilt, computers and science can't do EVERYTHING!!!
Groovy story, Meg.
