The Mechanic

- same good story; I said before that this was going to win and it looks just like that

- I haven't seen any different interpretations or updates since my last post on my story, so I'm guessing my analysis was more-or-less correct


The Man With a Thousand Dicks

- very funny (only thing going for it)


Firefly

- no emphasis or explanation from the author so far so until I see it edited with more content or a note explaining what monkeys and fireflies represent, I'm still wavering my vote for this


Intervention

- I liked this story - it was climatic for the most part as the characters revealed the protagonist's history

- however, I thought the neighbour characters were a bit unnecessary and it was rather anti-climatic in the end (we don't know if he solved his problem or not, but judging from the last line who isn't labelled, chances are that he decided to stop drinking)
