Honorable Mention in the 55 Fiction Contest

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Brian Thomas Clark

So the 55 Fiction contest over at The Colors Magazine is over, and congratulations to everyone who participated!

Not to toot my own horn, but I did not do too shabby, myself. In fact, I won an “Noble Citation” award (kind of like an “Honorable Mention”)! Not too shabby at all. My prize is that nifty little graphic to the left, and a chance to be a Featured Writer on The Colors Magazine for an entire month!

Anyway, now that the contest is over, here is my 55 Fiction entry:

Today

by Brian Thomas Clark

Slumping in the chair next to the bed, he watched his father and considered Camus: “Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know.”
Such emptiness in those words. Such a lack of anything, he thought.
And yet, they were a luxury.
He stood, turned off the respirator, and considered the calendar on the wall.
