Racoon stormed out of the gates early, I guess submitting first does have some secret advantage. He quickly staked his claim as leader and it looked like it was done deal from very early on. Game. Set. Match. Only thing left is to fight for the scraps.
But in every great tale, a challenger rises…
Emerging like phoenix from the ashes, Christina ignited a comeback for the ages. Rising the ranks, she relentlessly closed the gap-what started as an 11 vote deficit quickly shrank down to 8, 5, and at the very peak, just two votes behind.
Two lone souls who need to log on and click a button for her to take the top spot.
As night fell on the final day, the race was deadlocked. Votes continued to trickle in, and by 7pm, our two heroes were neck-and-neck. We could barely keep our eyes off the submissions page, but as the final hours ticked by, this storyteller had to call it night, eager to see who would emerge victorious in the morning…
At dawn, the dust settled, revealing Racoon as our victorious hero-holding his ground against Christina’s specatcular charge.
Sometimes, the fairytale comebacks are too good to be true.
