1st Place
Checkups turn to fright.
Copays rise like witching flames.
My wallet screams 鈥淏oo!鈥�
鈥� Arnav Shah
2nd Place
No rest after death.
Even the ghosts must work now
To get benefits.
鈥� Kristen Hayashi
3rd Place
Questing legs, and teeth
Hitching rides on their blood-brides,
All ticks and no treat!
鈥� Carrie Moores
