Jealousy; that's what it is.

Well, in seriousness, I know I'm not seasoned enough to win a contest like that. But, I just took the same story and entered it in a much smaller contest today.

If anybody on AW is on that list, congrats!

And ... the same story just won the smaller contest at First Line Fiction. (http://firstlinefiction.com/contests/contest-11/) Not the same level of competition, of course, but it's gratifying.
