Each Friday I will present five posts and upvote them from the @msp-curation account. 1 pick will be resteemed from the @minnowsupport account. Upon payout, I'll share the SBD earned from these curation posts with the featured authors. --- ![alheath.PNG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRanYDzQG4g1sZWq24TnZekgKhLyNT8kYyzqPRa334GZw/alheath.PNG) My first selection this week is from @alheath who submitted 'A Coward's Exit' to the latest @thewritersblock art prompt writing contest.
