Writing Competition Finished! Winners announced!
Readers and sophisticates alike! A winner for The Surreal Times’ first ever writing competition has been wrangled! “The Azech”, a story by Marilyn Márquez, was determined to stand tall above all of the other loquacious beasts, and was therefore tranquilized and brought in for closer examination. Under the fine eyes of our editors, it checked all boxes, it fit all bills, and it provided all necessary thrills. So, without further adieu, we will deliver to its mother the highly anticipated surreal prize.
We alluded to this prize our earlier article: “Piece of Surreal Engine Found Near Fault Line, Becomes Prize”. At first glance, the prize is a grand mechanism. Looking closer, it is otherworldly. And it is the only of its kind in all of the land. Ms. Marilyn Márquez, upon delivery, will become a lucky woman. Please do congratulate her when you next see her!
We would like to take this sentence to congratulate her ourselves.
Additionally, the staff of The Surreal Times wishes to acknowledge having debated intensely over the merits of the over thirty other submissions. From “Antisopera” by Gwendolyn Ellis to “Housewife Faces the Apocalypse” by Abigail Grace, the decision was difficult. However, “The Azech”, with its surreal elements and superb writing style won out. “Anisoptera” was a close second. And, “Housewife Faces the Apocalypse”, along with a handful of other honorable mentions, will be honorably mentioned in another announcement next week.
These stories will be made available to the public after contact is made with their mothers.
The runner-up will receive partial ownership of the surreal prize -- 10%. And it will be the victor’s responsibility to coordinate that the runner up holds possession of the prize for precisely 10% of every decade from the moment of delivery henceforth.
