1: Aftermath by Al Steiner An amazing story. Well written, great idea, consistent throughout, pretty brutal in parts and wrapped up perfectly. Well worth a read. It’s got top marks from me.
2: The Man of Sin by Sage of the Forlorn Path This story is the best I’ve read on this site to date and I’ve read quite a few excellent ones. The way it’s written, the story, the suspense, the knowledge, the ending - all superb!
