July/August 2016 Short Story Contest

Bzzzzt! Bzzzzzt! Squirrels say Bzzzzzt!

and what's the English translation?

The contest Czar will say, "Fine." But he's long winded.

I don't like the idea of multiple possible endings in a contest entry. Nothing wrong with that in a critique session, but annoys me as a contest entry. Others may have different opinions.

Ha apparently so
I understand, I suppose its not entirely fair. I'm happy to say 'the end of the story is the end' from a contest perspective, but if people could still leave feedback in the comments regarding the potential 'other endings' it would be appreciated.

Squirrels say nutty but fair.

Alternate endings. One of my published flash pieces is that way...three alternate or 'multiverse simultaneous' endings.

That sounds like an interesting concept, I guess it leaves it up to the reader to decide what really happens?

How wonderfully random, reminds me of an old episode of Red Dwarf.

So what is prosthetic amalgams, a flash fiction collection?

Yes basically, but hopefully more eclectic than 'just' flash.

Cool. I assume that's the lot then, so I'll have a look-see if I can figure out how to set up this voting thread thing...
