I occasionally am sent books to review for my book blog, and this time the publisher gave me one book to review and another book to give away.

So, a contest!

Seeing as how I love short short stories, you can submit one or more stories, and the story I like best wins.

Although you don’t have to, it would be nice if you posted the story anonymously or under a pseudonym that I can’t guess, so I won’t have any preconceived notions when I read the story. Just put your real e-mail address in so I can declare the winner and not have everyone claim to have written the story. (I won’t peek until the contest has been decided.)

You’ll have a week. The contest will end Saturday the 11th at 11:59 PM.

Kibitzing is not only allowed, it’s encouraged.

The only restriction is please keep it to a PG-13 rating.

If you’d like an idea of what I like, here is one of my all time favorite short short stories. And I know there are plenty of you out there who read but don’t comment. Since it can be completely anonymous, I fully expect everyone to participate. Got it?
