Above is a photo of the best prize I ever won in a writing contest.
Cool, eh? This is a planet.
It’s a planet by glass artist Josh Simpson. He was the Artist Guest of Honor at the Arisia science fiction convention in 2011, and one of the displays was of a megaplanet he had made—much bigger than this!
And the contest was to write a story inspired by the megaplanet. Winning stories would win a mini version.
I’ve posted more photos of the glass planet and the story itself, which won, over on my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-found-lost-159586094
