Enter this contest for a free, signed copy of DISTANT THUNDER.
RULES Write a short story of 1,500 words or less, and here's the catch. You must write your story from the point of view of a person stuck in a coma. It is a permanent condition. However, the person comprehends what is going on around her. The voices of loved ones are familiar, even intimately familiar, but the comotose character cannot attach names to the voices. The patient has lost that capacity. This is an exercise in dealing with death-in-life. The person who is telling the story is technically alive and is obviously narrating the tale, but people in the room do not really know if the comatose person is alive or dead. Go for it. Contest ENDS on September 1, 2009. The winning entry will be posted on this blog and the author will receive a copy of Distant Thunder.
Send Your Entry To: jimmy.root@att.net by midnight, September 1st. Winner will be announced on September 10th.
