Science Fiction Writing Contest - Winners Announced
I had the honor and privilege of being a judge for the annual MedGadget science fiction writing contest. Please check out the winning entries here. We judges were blinded to the author names when reading the selections - though it came as little surprise to me that a professional writer (Charles Pappas) won the contest.
Charles’ story hit close to home - it was the diary of a food-lover slowly gaining weight and watching their health insurance premiums increase as a chip implanted under their skin reported increasing cholesterol and insulin resistance directly to their employer. His struggle with weight gain and its financial implications was both humorous and poignant. Please head on over to Medgadget to enjoy the winning entry. Great timing for those of us recovering from Thanksgiving…
I don’t know Dr V., that lil’ story definitely makes you think twice about what activities you perform and what you consume.
Is that really a bad thing?
