I really liked all the stories, and now I especially want to read the other in the 10 that narrowly missed the shortlist. And the longlisted stories too.

And all the shortlisted piece are affecting. I was shuddering from sixth place, so I'm still reeling to be placing second.
Such a great episode!
Thanks again for this competition! And for the great excuse to finish something!

My employer does sell machines to a company in Brisbane. And when the machines breaks they sometimes send us out to fix things 👀
