March of the Short Stories, Part 2

March 15, so it's time for another link-fest. These are stories from the first week of March—the official start, I suppose, of my March writing project.

There are 8. That's because two of them—"Mid-Season Replacement" and "Date from Hell"—were written the same day. The two contests that day were extra-inspirational.

I'm tickled to say that three of them were winners in competitive contests for their respective days, and two of them shared a first prize. One was also named a weekly winner in its contest.
