To celebrate the release of my new book, I am inviting you all to participate in a contest. The concept: Explore a person's struggle to come to terms with a strange, sinister, or surreal reality. This is a broad theme to encourage you to be as creative as you choose. Flash and full length stories welcome in horror, fantasy, surreal, or any hybrid genres. The only rule: Prose fiction only. Three winners will be chosen, who will receive 2000, 1000, or 500 coins + a signed copy of my collection.

Cuttlefish Garden

So many colors. Blue making love to yellow, red walking orange, the rainbow hugging a unicorn, this is amazing! I floated to the sky with diamonds in my hands​, and saw father Peirce frowning down upon me. Suddenly, I dropped and crashed into a red ocean; I thought I was going to die. However, I quickly realized that I was not injured in any way. I looked around and I saw a woolly mammoth teaching a class of great white sharks. They all turned to me and grinned with glee. How can i stand this! What is happening!? Is this real life? No, it's a fantasy, a fantasy... that is much better than reality. Perhaps I could stay here. Perhaps I could befriend the mammoth. Perhaps I can be happy.

  "Charlie?"

  "What!? Who are you!? Where am I!?" 

  "Again huh? I'm doctor Moreno, I've come to see how you are. It's been almost a week since you've been checked into​ our facility."

  "I- I'm in rehab?"

  "Yes, Charlie."

  "Doc, I would like to go back to cuttlefish garden."
