After a lot of deliberation, I have chosen the winners to my contest! You guys seriously did not make it easy for me. There were a lot of entries running neck and neck. If I had the time and energy to give out more prizes I totally would. But, alas.
THE WINNERS OF MY The White Tower CONTEST ARE....

Tower GuardThe White Tower: The Guardsman, Travis.
It isn't the world's most pleasant job. I'm fairly sure it's a field that doesn't appeal to most; in fact, I've worked with enough others who quit it or died to know so. The ones who stay are the ones who either have to, or want to; the desperate, and the ones that actually believe in it.
I suppose there's also the ones that don't know any better, but these days, you don't have to be here long to start getting hints.
Put on the device that keeps them from controlling your mind along with the hideous uniform; don't ask why they don't bother giving you a gun. You couldn't keep them in either way if they really wanted out of their tower. And remember, they can be fairly touchy, but with the proper care won't bother with you.
Stay focused. Stay polite. Stay quiet.

Peter's Story It’s hard to remember what happened before. How my life was. But I do remember. I remember waking up every Saturday and eating waffles with my mom while Dad drank his one cup of coffee before heading off to his job as a janitor. I can remember watching cartoons too. Things like Recess and Doug. I think we had a dog, but that may be just something that I wanted. I vaguely remember going to school. I was in the ninth grade. I’d just started. I remember making friends with a couple sophomores on the first day, but I can’t remember their names. I…I remember thinking one of them was like my older brother.
My brother died when he was seventeen. I was ten. He was in a car accident with Dad. Our SUV got stuck on the train tracks. The battery died. Calvin was in the back seat trying to find the jumper cables while Dad talked to his buddy. The train came out of nowhere…they hadn’t even heard it coming. One minute the SUV was just

One DaySparing moments. That was what they had. Both knew that these moments, flashes, vignettes in their lives would last so little time. They were only permitted so much time.
So they made the most of it. The rare muscle spasm of smiles graced their lips. Glints of color and emotion flitted across their eyes. For once the two relished the sensation of touch. Usually touch equaled pain, but when Peter and Simone held hands it felt wonderful.
Like two worlds colliding softly and in their wake leaving a tiny, innocent pool of gentle ripples. Their skin tingled, in a good way, which was so rare between them.
Love. And emotion neither thought they would have the chance to feel. A commitment neither thought they would ever have the honor of making. Gifts of smiles of smiles and sighs, stray touches and even more stray kisses. The feeling of fingers combing through hair and smiles through on skin.
They both preferred the smell of each other to the smell of sterile needles and antiseptic. Th

Peter's escape (TWT contest) My fists smashed through the bodies before me. It didn't matter who they were. Not an more. The only thing that mattered was getting out. Getting away.
Dozens of hands tried at grab at me. I slapped a particularly vicious claw that ripped at my hair. It only took this little distraction for more hands to bear down on me. "No!" I struggled against the mass, throwing several but ultimately failing.
As more and more joined the battle my fight became meaningless. "NO!!" I convulsed angrily, fighting tooth and nail to escape. "You'll never take me!"
There were too many. No. NO! I wouldn't be taken captive, not again. I snatched a gun from someone's belt in a last desperate attempt to end it all. Just before I was able to pull the trigger the weapon was wrenched away.
The many bodies started to pull me away. Back. Back to that wretched place. I screamed with all my might. An endless scream that showed all of my fury and woe. Th
