Here is an excerpt from the story that one voter called a "masterpiece":

The mist directly in front of the dwarf solidified into a horrible black shape, something almost human, but that seemed frozen in agony. A tattered robe shrouded everything but the terrible face, with empty eye sockets that wept a thick black liquid, a gaping mouth locked forever in a scream of broken and rotting teeth, and a massive gash that crossed the face from ear to ear, full of rank meat and shredded cartilage. A howl of a thousand tortured souls filled the thief's mind, deafening and terrifying. He dropped to his knees, his hands over his ears, his mouth open in a silent scream, eyes wide and staring. Death stood over him, and he saw the void reach out for him.
