After some confusion about the results (since the web and print version had different ordering) the official Fiction 101 contest results are in. I got 2nd place and Conor 3rd. They also printed a bunch of stories outside the winner’s circle and Greg, Conor and I had additional stories printed there.
Also here is a bonus story for your enjoyment, my third submission that didn’t get printed:
Amsterdam
The bartender reached inside a locked cabinet for the absinthe and we shot it alongside a flaming spoon of sugar, but we didn’t go on any psychedelic trips or anything. Dejected, we wandered shadowy cobblestone streets and climbed down an open manhole into a multilevel underground brothel, where the madame floated out wearing phosphorescent sequins and waved a crystalline uzi toward her ladies. I chose the mermaid, who dragged me inside an ice cube, pulled off my skin, and charged me 45 golden narwhals. I can only imagine how crazy the night would have been if the wormwood ever kicked in.
