Writer's Challenge Winning Entries

Hi all,

I thought it time to now post some details about the winning entries for the Writer’s Challenge. We had many excellent entries.

To recap, once again, we posted several pieces of artwork and asked our readers to devise a story synopsis or outline and then choose from a list of pro-authors to actually write the given stories. The winning entries will be included in the yearly Aberrant Dreams anthology released later this year.
