So, it's finally the time to announce the winner of the Articles Story Time: Halloween Edition competition, which asked our lovely lot to write a scary short story just short of 500 words (even though EVERY ENTRY WENT OVER) I let you all off.

I wanted to ensure the vote was completely unbiased, so I didn't take part in the voting and instead I chose five members of the senior leadership team, both in general management and articles, to vote not knowing who's entry was who's. I then asked them to vote from their personal favourites from most preferred to least, and then totted up the results!

Anyway, enough talking. It is my pleasure to announce the following:

1st Place:

Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you look forward to partaking in the next edition of Story Time when Santa comes to town...
