Second Place Winner:

Justice Is Blind

by

Enjorous

| | AH | Alice / Rosalie | Rated: M/R | 12,948 words | Written for: Cullens Incarcerated | Published: 2-3-10

Summary:

Entry for the Cullens Incarcerated Contest. Justice is blind, isn’t it? It may be, but is that always a good thing? If someone doesn’t remember her crime at all, can she truly be guilty? If someone did it for a good reason, can she truly be innocent?

Recommendation:

This story is a fantastic look at the effects of prison life. Alice, a supposedly blood-thirsty murderer, enters her cell with an innocence that the reader just knows won't last. She can't remember committing the crime, and her cell-mate Rosalie (known as the Bridal Butcher) committed her crimes as revenge for being brutalized (a nice nod to canon Rose/Royce). But, as Rosalie wisely points out to Alice, the circumstances rarely matter in the justice system. A really thought-provoking read.

Third Place Winner:

Stereo Alchemy

by

MrsKatyCullen

| Tragedy | AH | Bella / Edward | Rated: M/R | 4621 words | Written for: Cullen Incarcerated | Published: 2-22-10

Summary:

24 hours, and asphyxiation calls her forward. Will the sudden burst of feelings change the fate of Bella Swan, and take her away from the consequences of death row? Third place in "Cullens Incarcerated"!

Recommendation:

Stereo Alchemy is a story about a woman who sacrificed the life of her own daughter and therefore her own life to escape the abusive partner. Her life was about loss, suffer and pain until she met one person who saw her for who she truly was and showed her what true love can be.
