2022 National Fantasy Fan Federation Short Story Contest
" This is a “Greek Tragedy” of a story, graphically depicting the downfall of a man -- a hero! -- into nemesis and ruin. Definitely a sad story, but, like the Greek Tragedies, inescapable. The epistolary format works well for this, as we clearly perceive the “voice” of the man as he slides horribly into his destruction. Your narrative is clear and crisp, very well-written, and certainly emotionally evocative.
Your story did not win a prize in the 2022 National Fantasy Fan Federation Short Story Contest, but it was a finalist in the judging. It was an honor and a joy for me to read it; thank you for participating in the contest."
