I'm calling it a draw. These two pieces by Bakannal and Andre Haynes make it hard for me to choose one. So, I'll be honoured to send them both a copy of The Art of the Short Story. Fine work indeed!
And just to be fair...since I did set the closing date for February 10, 2009, anyone who submits a short short or a brief analysis of a story on or before that date will be considered for the prize as well. (Brass you have six days left.)
