Would you like to see the first story of mine that ever won anything? If so, take a look at "Hyacinth." I'm linking to it here because it might be useful to young writers, to see the first story in which I did anything at all satisfying. I certainly hope I've gotten better. I wrote "Hyacinth" at the Odyssey Writing Workshop. If you can write a better story, well, you're already ahead of where I was, when I started!

"Hyacinth," 2nd Place, Science Fiction Writers of Earth Short Story Competition, 2000.
