Mystery in 650 Words - Winners

ViM hosted its February Prompt, Mystery in 650 Words. There was a decent turnout, resulting in some great entries. You can read more about the prompt below. ⬇ ⬇⬇

We had an awesome group of judges. Even one of ViM's group readers volunteered to participate as one of the judges! You can read more about the judges below. ⬇ ⬇⬇

There were many wonderful entries, and the other judges and I enjoyed reading each. Sadly, we could only choose three as the recipients of the cash prize, but in our eyes, they all wrote worthy entries.

Proudly, I present to you the top three entries:

First Place:

Diane Foster

The click of red heels caught on grainy surveillance tape. A case gone cold. A DNA evidence connection. Is the case solved? A detective's gut feeling may say otherwise.

Second Place:

Kelli Sheckler-Amsden

What do a rental room, an unsuspecting woman, and a flowerbed have in common? Ask the handiman; he truly knows.

Third Place:

Calvin London

Jacob's food was coming up missing. Where could it be going? Sitting up for a night's watch, will he finally find out who or what is taking food from him?

Below, in no particular order, you will find the rest of the wonderful entries! ⬇⬇⬇

The House of Blue Light

Childish Semantics

Busy Tone

Denied

Time Runs Out

Thank you to the entrants, my fellow judges, and all of you Vocal readers for helping to make these little prompts possible.
