Hi! Welcome to the reflection of last week's session, in which we challenged you to write a short story incorporating the following words:

A cellphone, a building, and a fire alarm.

Thank you all for taking the time to write so many wonderful entries! We had lots of really awesome pieces to choose from this week, but here's our top three!

This entry was incredibly well-thought-out and tops the list because of the ways in which the author twists the narrative and brings a new set of ideas to the table

This entry was incredibly well-thought-out and tops the list because of the ways in which the author twists the narrative and brings a new set of ideas to the table. Instead of going with a more conventional idea for the words given, they set it up differently and wrote the narrative in an enrapturing way. Congratulations!

Second place goes to Kanaya_1113's 5 Minutes.

I enjoyed this entry because we're looking at the event from a more antagonistic point of view, not to mention the intriguing formatting used as the bomb was nearing the moment of its explosion

I enjoyed this entry because we're looking at the event from a more antagonistic point of view, not to mention the intriguing formatting used as the bomb was nearing the moment of its explosion. You painted a thin film of suspense over this work, and it leaves the reader wanting more. I wouldn't mind a full-blown novel of this one!

Finally, in third place is ChestnutHollyGirl with A Bakery Murder.

First of all, hats off to you for having fun with the title and the idea of "murdering" dreams and bakery pastries

First of all, hats off to you for having fun with the title and the idea of "murdering" dreams and bakery pastries. You hooked me in with one story and gave me a different one that was even better than what I was expecting. Also, you can tell how much the owner dislikes this employee, and it's pretty funny in my opinion!

Make sure to give all of the winners a follow, and to check out their personal works! They're all wonderful writers and we love seeing you all forming the closely-knit community that makes this annual workshop awesome.

We'll be back in a couple days with a new workshop, so keep your eyes peeled!
