It's been a minute, sad the competition didn't work out (not many submissions).

Here with something I wrote for another competition that I lost. Paying to join a competition, losing, and getting an automated rejection letter sucks. Would have loved at least a singular human sentence.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my little story!

How does this even work? Usually you can submit work to little literary magazines for free if you want to.

The money is supposed to flow towards the writer, not away from.

I liked the story FWIW.

I've applied to plenty of magazines and haven't gotten in, so I figured I'd apply to a paid competition. It's a medium sized magazine so I don't think I just got scammed. I suspect it's paid because the prize pool was pretty large (250 bucks for I think 20 winning writers). Thank you for reading my work!
