During the weekend, I finished a new short story. I can’t specifically mention what it’s about just yet, or even how long it is, because it was written for a little contest at the Codex writers’ forum, and the judging is supposed to be done anonymously. Since some Codexians might read my blog, I must be discreet. (For the same reason, I cannot upload it yet to my critique area.)

However, I can tell you that the story involves at least one item from each of the following lists, because that’s what the contest required:

LIST A

• Magic Shoes
• A broken cell phone
• A nun spontanesously combusts
• The spleen of a former South American military leader

LIST B

• Passing out on a sidewalk
• She talks to angels
• A myopic alien
• A kukri knife (used by Nepalese Ghurkas)
• An orphan’s love for the parents it never knew

LIST C

• Broken eyeglasses
• A red room
• A Giant Voodoo Lily
• The inside of a neutrino detector
• Dreaming you’re warden for a prison for dogs.
