When I first read Clean Sheets by dronette56, I was struck by its gritty realism, and the authenticity of the characters. It's tempting to veer into Pretty Woman territory when one is writing a story for the "Money" category, and to neatly wrap up the conclusion with a happy ever after ending. But the author stays true to the narrative while offering the main character an avenue of hope at the story's end. I'm delighted to announce that "Clean Sheets" has earned the EP Award. Congratulations, dronette56!
