2 Kindles Up For Grabs - A Competition That Is New And Genuine - With Big Prizes

Online, November 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - WIN 2 KINDLES - A COMPETITION THAT IS NEW AND GENUINE - WITH BIG PRIZES!!!

We invite short writing in any genre or form - fact or fiction - for what we hope will become a prestigious annual competition event.

Telling stories is as old as Humankind itself. Short stories have always been told. The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient tale from Mesopotamia and is among the earliest known works of literature. In ancient Greece there were the verse stories of Aesop, told in his Fables. Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are short fiction in verse form. They are the Flash Fiction of the 14th century.
Many writers have been attracted to the short form: Chekhov, Guy de Maupassant, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Franz Kafka. And many more.

So Flash is nothing new. But it has received a boost in the Internet Age. The short piece is eminently suitable for our fast modern age. It fits in nicely with electronic transmission. It is a democratic form: everyone has a chance to have readers.
