A Hit A Hit, I Do Confess!

Ralan's has announced the winners of the 2006 Grabber Contest, which I had previous mentioned here.

2nd Prize: Dead Forever by Dr. Philip Edward Kaldon
Full story 4800 words, grabber 494 words (MS-Word)

There were a record number of 87 entries resulting in a prize pool of $1100 to five prize winners. All entries were limited to just the first 500 words of a 2000 to 6000 word story -- the judges have NOT seen the full stories yet. Full stories will be posted by 31 October 2006. I'll update y'all later.

Final Judges:
Richard Freeborn, editor/publisher, Oceans of the Mind
Bridget & Marti McKenna, editors, Æon Speculative Fiction
Bruce Holland Rogers, writer/teacher, writing teacher

Teaser first line:

Crap, he thought. Why do I always have to be the one to die?

And this one'll be online, so you can read it, but the 'rents can't. Suggested they go to the library when the story gets posted, but Mother figured that wouldn't happen.
