We had a ton of qualified entries for this contest, and the competition was very close as you can see by these three short stories. Many authors chose to retell existing texts or enhance parts of The Two Towers tale, but our winners truly added a look into missing parts of the story.

Other great stories of mention were written by Hacaba, Eledhwhen, Josef Knauber, and Matt Turner. Thanks to everyone who entered!!!!
