HOW TO VOTE: You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog (or as a comment to my Facebook link to this call for votes). If you want to vote by commenting but do not want your vote to appear on the blog, you just have to say so in your comment (I moderate all comments on my blog). If you want to vote anonymously, that's okay, but please choose some sort of pseudonym so I can keep track of different votes by anonymous voters. I will post comments as they come in.

Walcott.
i really wasn;t into any of these so it'll need to be walcott
Some of David's Story - really enjoyed it.
David's Story
After much consideration, I came down to a choice between an apple and an orange: Kaddour's "Bus Driver" and Haas's "Some of David's Story." The tight image, or the expansive narrative? And I decided to go with Kaddour.
