Among other activities the WOTF organization conducts quarterly Science Fiction and Fantasy writing contests. I entered a short story in the 2nd Quarter 2023 contest. I received Honorable Mention for my story titled “Death Do Us Part” . I received a second Honorable Mention from Allegory Magazine (Summer Issue 2023) for the same story. Next step is to polish the story and submit again.
