Ex Libris, by Yohanan Kaldi, and Buying Time, by Rosaleen Egan, stood out most for me...Buying Time is dramatic, with a premise that starts off as a simple conversation between a shopkeeper and a customer and turns into something that leaves the audience with more questions than answers.

Much stronger is Buying Time by Alliston, Ont.-based Rosaleen Egan... It’s a fully realized short story...
