It's been almost a year and a half since we announced the fifteen finalists for Opium39's 7-Line Story Contest (judged by Amy Hempel). Why the delay? Myriad reasons, but the short answer: we were waiting to find the time. To put Opium39 together; for Literary Death Match to slow down (it sped up in a colossal way); for the money to roll in; etc.; etc.
So, instead of a full issue that you could buy and hold and fall for again and again, we're releasing the contest winners in PDF form. For free!
So, without further adieu: Congratulations to Adam Peterson and his story "Our Babies are Going to Get Married" — the winner of $1,000 and Opium39's Shya Scanlon 7-Line Story Contest!
Click here to read the PDF, now (You will love it. It will blow your mind. I kid you not). And share it around and about, if you dig the stories.
And congrats to the runners-up (runner-ups?), and winners of $100 each:
2nd Place: "The Sea that Drowned the Men" by Benjamin Busch
3rd Place: The House at the End of the World by Carmen Machado
And a hearty congratulations to the other finalists, and to everyone who entered the contest. We've always been so appreciative of your support.
