Book View Cafe announces winners in its third Twitter Fiction contest!

Honorable mentions:  

literatewench: @bookviewcafe I'd never met anyone I couldn't get along with until I met my clone. Killing her and taking her place was a kindness.

Kenneth_Yu: @bookviewcafe I felt her kiss first, then her blade. Smiling, she switched her machine off as I died. Virtual reality leaves no blood.

luckychan13: @bookviewcafe She thought she had found love again, years after her divorce. He turned out to be one of her ex-husband's clones.

literatewench: @bookviewcafe She ended as she'd begun: alone in her orbiting ship. The change was in the planet beneath her; as she died, it began to live.

Annie_Reed: @bookviewcafe Detective Gant gathered the nannite assassins in his hollow hand. No evidence left. A good night's work for a cyborg hitman.

blissery: @bookviewcafe "A new form of the old hate," he says sadly, touching his hand. "It's not because we're both men, it's because we're robots."

luckychan13: @bookviewcafe We were rejects; leftover embryo from fertility treatments. We were not supposed to be born. --And now someone's killing us.

literatewench: @bookviewcafe "Well," he said as he curled content next to his new mate, "There's this: at least werewolves shed ticks when they change."

scribe77: @bookviewcafe Breaking News 2019: Robots found dead in murder/suicide crime of passion. Update at 11:00.

literatewench: @bookviewcafe "I accidentally designed the perfect man! I'll stasis until he's done growing." So she did; and they lived happily ever after.

Second/Third place tie (each wins an autographed copy of
Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff's novel, Magic Time:Angelfire):

TimeSlingers: @bookviewcafe After hours. Me and a Vodka. Then she
saunters in. Slinky red dress. Legs up to her neck (literally). Four
arms. Pure trouble.

KarinaFabian: @bookviewcafe "Juliet!" Romeo sank to his knees,
wailing. "I said 'hemlock' not 'airlock!'"  

First place (wins a pdf of Bohnhoff's Laldasa
and signed copy of Magic Time:Angelfire):
