Yet another reason for Cody's to close -- writing like this! San Jose State University runs the Bulwer-Lytton Bad Fiction Writing contest -- and has announced this year's winner.
Bulwer-Lytton is, of course, the man who started his novel with "It was a dark and stormy night." All entries in the contest must be a single sentence, but can be as long as you like.
Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean."
Read the other winning entries here (link will go live Tuesday). No fair entering hastily-written SFist entries for consideration in next year's contest.
