Hello friends, a friend of mine locally has organized a very short fiction contest, 500-words exactly. http://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/at-random/2010/feb/09/could-you-do-it-in-500/ I share in case some of you would be interested. I don't think my "talking moons" story will come in under 500-words. jc Jim Canaday M.A. Lawrence, KS
