The contest is at http://www.gather.com
According to Michael, Gather.com is like Myspace "without the teenagers & unsigned pop bands trying to sell you their music"
I joined. It only took a minute. And best of all, it's FREE!
Micheal's entry is called "Soul Deep". It's here:

If you'd like to join Gather and vote, please do so.
I have to admit, I didn't read any of the other entries, LOL. But the voting is from 1 to 10 stars so it's not like voting for Michael means that I can't vote for anyone else.
I thought Michael's story was engaging with really vivid characters and I could totally see what was happening as he wrote it. If you can get past his overuse (IMO) of the ellipse (...) then I think you'll enjoy the story too.
If you do read it, please leave some comments. I think anything would help him with his writing. I LOVE people who read and write, LOL. And even if he doesn't win this particular contest, I'd like to encourage him to keep writing.
You can visit Michael's Blogs here:
http://mkw313.blogspot.com which is a blog where he writes little fiction things daily
and http://neverendingrainbow.blogspot.com which is where he blogs about pop culture and other stuff.
Thanks for your consideration!

Hey! I will definitely visit this site. anything about writing and reading and literature interests me. If I have time today, I might even leave a comment for your friend. Kudos to you for being such a thoughtful and supportive friend. Every writer needs a little encouragement now and then.

Thanks, but I think Kudos should go to anyone who is willing to subject their writing to criticism from total strangers, LOL.
