To celebrate the launch of my 3rd collection of short stories, The Storm, I decided to hold a short story competition. The top entry would win a copy of The Siege, my first short story collection. The results are now in. There were some great entries, which made it very difficult to choose a winner. A special mention goes to Lance Greenfield for his entry.
The challenge was to write a story in 50 words, using the following words in it somewhere:
- MIRROR
- SALAD
- GHOST
- MAGAZINE
- BEER
The winner is Hugh Roberts with his story:
In a futuristic world, I stared into the quantum mirror, hoping to glimpse a hidden dimension.
Instead, a ghostly figure emerged, holding a holographic magazine. It revealed secrets of interstellar travel just as my beer transformed into liquid stardust.
The salad of knowledge served, I embarked on an extraordinary journey.

Well done, Hugh! A copy of The Siege will be on its way to you very soon.
