The votes have been counted, the neutron flow polarity has been reversed, and the flux capacitor is fluxing - it's finally time to announce the winners of the Seventh Escape Pod Flash Fiction Contest!
That's right, winners! After looking at potential voting issues, and taking into account the withdrawal of "USS Copernicus" from consideration, the editorial team has decided that this contest is resulting in a three-way victory. So congratulations to the following stories, which will all be appearing in future installments of Escape Pod:
"Bee of Ganymede" by Brandon Case
"Imposter Syndrome(s)" by Bob McHugh
"Half-Lives" by Andrew Hiller
Furthermore, thanks to everyone who submitted and voted. Without you, this contest would be a nonexistent forum, which is not a great way for a contest to be. Excelsior, and we'll see you and a fresh batch of stories next year!
