Richard Bowes's short story "There's a Hole in the City" was very likely the best work of short fiction published on the Web in 2005. It's currently in the running, with nine other stories, for the Million Writers Award for Fiction.
Never heard of this prestigious award? Neither had I. But you can still help Rick's story win! All you have to do is vote. Few enough people have voted that your ballot will make a difference. But only vote once! The award administrators are very cranky.
