Owen Walor is a student in his sophomore year at Holmdel High School. While he has always had an interest in writing, he recently started to hone his craft. He decided to enter this contest on a whim to feed his own sense of vanity. He thanks his teachers for giving him the skills to write, his parents for giving him the opportunity of life, and the Writers Theater of NJ for taking the time to sift through an absurd amount of short stories.
