So, since you can only vote for one thing, I'll just say some kind words about things I'd vote for.
Lebule - props for going the distance.
Dusktree - effort is evident, good formatting, the "we not eat you" moment was funny, props for that.
Gaiarmus - a nice and touching story. Although, it does kinda require reading the November submission about this nature spirit to understand this one better. Not sure what I'd think without reading the November one, but together they are good.
Lathanar - paints a nice, cordial atmosphere towards the end, props for that.
Requiem - random scavenger pouring gin in a dried well to honour a nigh-forgotten god she barely believes in is touching. I can't say why but it does evoke strong emotions. And it's quite rare for a text to evoke strong emotions in a reader. At least, from my experience. So muh vote goes here.

Props to everyone who submitted something this month, however, I enjoyed reading each one. Admittedly, some more than others but tastes differ.
