[PI] August Contest: The Zinga Snare	Thanks for submitting this, I enjoyed reading it. I thought the dialogue was a little stilted (no one I know talks that way) but the story still had a nice rhythm overall.	2	16	1,282
[PI] August Contest - Secret Slugs	Awesome. I haven't been subscribed to this subreddit very long, but this is the first one I've read with humor. Really enjoyed reading your work.	1	3	1,283

[WP] Dead Man's Hand	The soldier moved swiftly through the jungle of fall concrete. The gun in his hand felt heavy, the sweat on his brow stingng, his body weighed down from pressure.

[WP] Dead Man's Hand	"It was always meant to be this way, detective. No jail can hold me. No force can stop what's coming." The man looked like just a regular street thug- But he was anything but.

[WP] Dead Man's Hand	The dust began to settle as the gunslinger came out from behind his cover. He brightly smiled, showing grime and decay in his teeth.

One, alive and...	2	12	1,287
[WP] Dead Man's Hand	The last cruiser in the B'raal warfleet glowed faintly, directly before us. A million light-years away, their homeworld burned with a thousand nuclear flames. The bright sheen of the cruiser's energy shield soon dimmed. This was common, as their ships quickly ran out of energy without a nearby star for solar power. T...	1	12	1,288
[WP] Dead Man's Hand	“Ms. Smith, you are under arrest for sedition, treason, and tresspassing, by order of the Hereditary President of the People's Republic of America. You are to come with us.
