Niki Croft Wins Relentless Short Stories
It looks like Niki Croft and Rich Forne’s Relentless Short Stories entry won the entire contest and they walked away with 5,000 euros. Not to shabby! Hopefully this gets Niki motivated to drop some more fire in the coming year. Dude’s the beast of all beasts.
