Two Weeks Left

[eris]

Two weeks remain in the Short Story Contest. There are no entries as of yet.

Don't let the theme hold you back. You aren't writing an entire novel, we don't need complete back history, only enough detail to anchor your piece of the world 21 years from now. Writing about medical exploration? A summation of the advances along the way that lead to your place in time will do. Think of it as a "Previously on..." voiceover equivalent.

There are three prizes. If you don't enter, you don't stand a chance of winning.

Let's go, writers, pen to paper, chop chop!

Re: Two Weeks Left

Aren't you premature? The contest announcement says "The contest is now open and will close June 1st, 2013" June 1st doesn't begin until 12:00 midnight on Friday, May 31. If I am following the instructions, I and anyone else submitting have until 12 midnight Friday night; please clarify. Thanks.
