    I can't choose between these two, for me they are tied in top spot. So great to see them battling it out here :)

    It's not my turn again yet, but tonight I re-read Risico for the first time in years. Just to base my next voting on a solid foundation. And yes, we have two finalists very close in quality.

    To each one's own, but I do think that TLD is more suspenseful and better written than Risico, and that the opportunity to turn a short story into a full novel shouldn't count if that opportunity was missed.

    PS: I'm aware this is a losing game regarding the TLD short story, but so it may be. I still prefer it over Risico.
