Or at least a six-word long short story. I've just found out I won Culturepush's Very Short Story Competition.
This was my winning entry:
“Thanks, Singapore – the experiment ends now.”
Others that I sent in include:
Singapore colonises Britain. Speak good Singlish.
LKY Clones himself. Global domination!
Actually, Soon Juan, You’re the Messiah
Fuzzy logic air-conditioners take revenge!
“I loved you, Kuan Yew. Goodbye.” [my favourite]
Bomoh creates zombie army: no NS!
Haw flake ingredient: soylent green.
They said I was gifted, once.
Huh? You mean I’m a robot?
Astronomy’s a hoax: green cheese, anyone?
“Guess whose cock you sucked, Papa!”
Don’t be silly, pontianaks don’t exi-
Lesbian pontianak! Quick, throw your tampons!
Sentosa’s independent! (Led by waxwork LKY)
I know, it really was a case of data-bombing. So sue me. Actually, sue them. It's been almost two weeks since they uploaded the results and they still haven't e-mailed me - nor did they print my name in the report. (shrug)
UPDATE: They've made the updates and sent me my $50 Books Actually voucher. Hooray! (Apparently they wrote and dated the article about a week before uploading it, so their sin of forgetfulness is not quite so grievous.)
Our bad! The post is dated 13th Feb, but it was written in advance of the re-design and the site only went live on the 23rd. Have added in your name and a voucher is coming your way. Thanks for your patience :)
