Opportunity
I logged onto my local library's site today to check when my borrowed books were due. I noted with some interest that they're conducting a short story competition. What could I write for something like this? I don't think I've written anything sufficiently long to be regarded as a short story.
Browsing further I was very surprised to note that they have placed a 2000 word limit on adult entries. Surely not. Only 2000 words? I read last year's winners. It seems it is a very-short story competition, and that opens up possibilities for slack dogs like me. I think I shall do a little polishing on "The Power" and submit it. This is a no-risk investment.
