Short short shortlist

Actually, it's not all that short. But I now have from the judges the 12 stories that remain in contention for the top 3 spots in the short short story competition that's been running on normblog since late June. I list them below, with links:

1. Spa City Diner, Night Before a Funeral (John Williams)

5. Time Slip (Sophie Masson)

7. God (Jon Fasman)

8. The Meaning of Restored Equilibrium (Philip Bounds)

19. The Night Sighed with Relief (Steve State)

22. How Many More (Jeff Nuding)

33. The Road from Damascus (Matt Crowder)

35. Rebecca (Mick Hartley)

41. Verisimilitude (Daniel Goss)

43. Chicken (Paul Malin)

45. Night Out (Madhu Dahiya)

58. Ristretto Forever (Jackie Danicki)

Anyone wanting to remind themselves of the other stories - you can find them as follows:

> 1 to 11 by scrolling through the normblog archives for June

> 12 to 54 by scrolling through July

> 55 to 68 by scrolling through August

I hope to be able to post the final result by Tuesday at the latest.
