Before announcing the winning title for Round 3 of the Random Title Challenge, another reminder to please read and vote for your favorite of the Round 2 stories (HERE). The voting closes on Monday, May 9th.
As mentioned, the voting for the Round 3 Title closed today at Noon (Central Time), and here are the results.

Ideally, I’d have liked to have seen a few more votes, but we take what we’re given.
The three writers — Perry, Gary, and me — now have three weeks to each write a story inspired by the title Of Broken Things. The tentative date for publishing the Round 3 Stories is May 15th.
Also as mentioned, the second-place title (Forgotten Thoughts) will carry over as one of the title choices for Round 4.
And now . . . variation on a Common Grackle (shot with the Nikon P900 at 2000mm eq. zoom).
That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below.
