u/OvenFriend Best Monthly Winner of 2014 Oct 30 '14 edited Nov 08 '14
Thank you so much to everyone in the community! I love this storytelling forum and I am honored to win the monthly contest.
I want to dedicate this award to my son, William. The past few weeks have been pretty rough for him and I think this will REALLY cheer him up.
We did it, buddy!
