Winners
1st Place

"Dog Days of Summer" by Roddrick Miller
Diamond was a rescue dog. Her owners kicked her out of a moving car and my friend Chris and I have been taking care of her for a month. The local pet store gave us 20lbs of food for her.
2nd Place

"Rest Your Bones" by Candice Fowler
I thought it was funny to think about how many bottoms had sat in that chair. Where we hang out, it’s being thoroughly used.
3rd Place

"Joy" by T. Jones
My daughter just seemed happy regardless of the situation we’re in. I teach her to be grateful for what she has and not to worry about what we don’t have.
