1st Place
Mark Somers - (#14) ROCKET LAUNCHERS SOLD SEPARATELY (feature). A team of hitmen kidnaps an arms dealer to execute him in front of their mob boss who he ripped off, but the hitmen fail to take into account the arms dealer's overly protective mother and very determined girlfriend. (15 points)
2nd Place
Jeff_Lowell - (#9) IZZY GAFFNEY SAVES THE WORLD (feature). In the future, scientists have figured out how to send consciousness through time, implanting it in a new body. When they send a super spy into the past to stop World War 3, they make one small miscalculation and send him into the body of a four year old girl. Can she save the world before her parents make her go down for her nap? (13 points)
3rd Place
DaltWisney - (#5) AUTO-PILOT (feature). An indecisive man downloads an app that promises to help him make better choices, but soon realizes that the program has overstepped its boundaries and taken complete control of his reality. (11 points)
Honorable Mention
JoeNYC - (#8) MY ALIEN HOTTIE (feature). When a rebellious teen alien crash lands outside small town USA and takes the form of a hot chick, an ordinary teenaged boy scrambles to maneuver her through his parents and the high school social scene without blowing her cover until she repairs her spaceship and zooms home.
