Peas Full. Runner-Up in Everything Looks Better From Far Away Challenge.
Dad died last week. Or maybe it was last year. I don’t remember. I remember when the phone rang. It lit up the counter, buzzing like an angry bee. Even if I hadn’t been washing dishes, I wouldn’t have answered. It rang six times before going to voicemail. I didn’t listen. I watched the voice to text crawl across the screen.

The Therapist Says I’m Doing Great

The Meeting Could’ve Been An Email . Runner-Up in 500 Word Shockwave Challenge.
At 9:00 a.m. sharp, we gather in the windowless room with the flickering lights and the smell of burnt tires and stale coffee grounds. Carol from HR is already there, smiling like she’s been reanimated especially for the occasion.

The Prometheus Gene. Runner-Up in The Life-Extending Conundrum Challenge.
Dr. Francesca Crickson—Frankie, if you met her in a bar or at the kind of lecture where they served pinot in plastic cups—did not mean to upend death. But death, like most overrated institutions, was due for disruption.
