Third place
This time there is a shared third place as I could not chose between the two. The two to place third are A- The Other Side by @seesladen
and B-Feral Canine by @theironfelix
Seesladen is an Electric dreams veteran. The story was engaging and I enjoyed the read. However it felt a little short to me I would have liked to have had more. One question did strike me though, seesladen how are there German shepherds if humans dod not intervene with their evolution or genetic makeup ? Theironfelix is another newcomer to electric dreams. I was fascinated by the writing style, it is unique and unusual. I found it compelling, almost like a Dali painting 💜
You two will receive 0.275SBD = 1/4 of the authors rewards and 1 SBD congratulations and thank you 💜
The runner up is by @calluna - The Other Side Of The Canine Divide it is no secret that @calluna is one of my favourite writers here on steemit. This week’s entry defenitly had a classic sci-fi feel to it sort of like the time machine with the morlocks or Logans run. Cal you will receive 0.275SBD = 1/4 of the authors rewards and 2 SBD congratulations and thank you 💜
Winner
The winning story is is by @gaby-crb Dog Fights
gaby-crb is new to Electric Dreams. While she botched the first prompt, as dogs were not the dominant species in her story, it was the ending that made me chose it as the winning piece because it portrays the one thing all beings have in common the longing of a peaceful and happy existence, even in the face of a harsh world. @gaby-crb You will receive 0.275SBD = 1/4 of the authors rewards and 3SBD congratulations and thank you 💜
