This winter, to highlight local voices and curate local content specially made for their Short Story Dispensers, the San Jose Public Library organised a pretty special short fiction and comic contest.

All Julie did was toss a piece of bubble gum into her mouth, one day. Honey plum-plum flavor. Her favorite. And then...
She blew ONE GUM BUBBLE.
That’s it.
