I’m excited to announce that I won third place with my story “Waiting in the Everafter” in Writers’ Playground’s Short Fiction competition.

This is a fun contest where each participant has 10 days to write a short story (up to 3,000 words) using their list of prompts. They give us a list of 5 characters and 5 settings to choose from, as well as one item that must appear somewhere in the story.

I chose a musician for my character and the afterlife as my setting. The item that had to be included was a stained baby blanket.
