With this week’s challenge being all about the whodunit, mysterious murders abound in the arena, but there will be no doubt over which of our authors reigns supreme.

Both of these challengers should be familiar to fans of the Human Echoes Podcast. One is our shiny headed co-host, Albert Berg. The other, a frequent contributor to the podcast, is Donald Jacob Uitvlugt. For the first time, these heavy hitting authors face off in The Writer’s Arena.

Albert Berg brings you God of Fire, God of Ashes. Will his lamp be choked out? Or will the fire gods of old prevail?

On the opposite side of the spec-fic universe, the proud and mighty Dutchman, Donald Jacob Uitvlugt, brings you a creepy and crawly small-town murder story with The Lovebug Murders. Will he catch the crook along with the victory? Or will Donald’s words end up as worm food?

We have two judges that will render their decision by Friday. The third vote comes from you, the readers. We ask that you read both stories objectively, and then leave a comment below or on the story itself. Authors aren’t allowed to comment on their own stories, but we’re sure they’ll be checking in here. We’ll tally up the totals and announce our champion on Friday the 30th.

On a side note, we are paying our authors a base level rate at the moment, but if you really enjoyed their story and want to help us make sure these awesome people get paid, please donate below. 75% goes to the author, the rest goes to keeping this place up and running.
