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. Open to authors of all ages (the youngest was just 3, the oldest 77), this project was a blooming success: between the short story contest and the comic making contest, almost 150 works were submitted!
Let’s hope this will be the first of many successful contests for the San Jose Public Library!

He had never seen such a thing.
Seated on the front steps of the little house with the blue shutters, Michael scratches his head, mechanically looking at the file that he already knows by... [+]
“Maroussia, don’t go too far from the house!”
