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.
