JUDGE COMMENTS:

$Zinfandel

 The dark atmosphere of this board is
fantastic. I found myself in heavy 
suspense as the story of the board 
progressed. The board raises a lot of 
questions about the story behind it, 
and I think it's perfectly fine to leave 
them open-ended. What a cool vignette!

 A spooky story whose ending is a bit 
telegraphed. The visual effects and 
writing are well done, with an effective 
monochrome palette. I do hope Wells 
releases an anthology of short story 
boards like this!

$Dr. Dos

 Horror has absolutely become en vogue in 
ZZT lately as more of us realize that 
writing is the aspect of ZZT with the 
fewest limitations, smiling players be 
damned. "Approach" is a piece of 
microfiction that takes a two-pronged... 
approach to its horror. 
The first being the existential dread of 
growing old, decaying physically and in 
turn being unable to keep your home from 
decay as well. The second being a more 
traditional horror of the unknown. A 
short, compelling story with great use of 
having the board itself slowly erase.

 Receives the coveted award of: 
Biggest 180 of going from "Oh this is me"
to "Oh this is not me and I hope it 
remains not me."
