Prepare for the contest

Jason Evans, the moderator of the Clarity of Night blog, is gearing up for another short fiction contest. For those of you who have taken part in these before, you should be getting excited. For those of you who haven't entered this contest before, here's your chance.

The way it works is this: Evans posts a picture he's taken as a source of inspiration. All stories must draw somehow from the provided image. Usually the wordcount it 250 or less, and tons of people contribute, ranging all genres and styles.

Evans is planning to start the contest to kick off the new year, so keep checking back for official rules and entry guidelines. He has also provided the contest image a bit early so we can get our muses running on the hamster wheel.

Here it is:

I see that smile.
