And submission: Doyce kindly directed me toward a contest at New Genre. Squeaking in just under the wire, I've sent in "Abominable," a horror story whose plot I shan't reveal. It makes me shiver every time I read through it. Mostly because some of the scenes are set in the Great Plains during the winter. And I retyped it while sitting in the basement. Brrr.
Thanks, Doyce!
