First story read, and it's an easy Yes for the Longlist. Great title, excellent use of the prompts, especially the Kicker. I'm hoping this is a taste of things to come.

#NotQuiteWritePrize Congratulations, lucky (and very talented) author of #571677! You are my very first outright favourite this round. Masterful use of close third and single effect, well done.
Speaking of sexy things...
To the author of story #523186, I sincerely apologise for reading a COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE meaning into the title of your story! It was in fact, deeply heartfelt and emotional (and I need to get my mind out of the gutter).
