Short story intro Short story intro (December 07, 2005)

It is our pleasure to bring you the winning entries in the Weekly's 20th Annual Short Story Contest. For the past two decades, we have published a staggering range of stories submitted by our readers. Comedy, tragedy, introspection, action -- the tone and style of the tales have never failed to enlighten and amuse. This year's selections are no different. From a decidedly different take on "The Exorcist" to the long-awaited answer to "How to Solve a Rubic's Cube," local writers have once again demonstrated the wealth of talent that exists on the Midpeninsula. We extend our thanks to the co-sponsors of this event: Bell's Books, Kepler's, Linden Tree and Palo Alto Online. We would also like to thank all the contestants who entered this year's contest and invite the community to submit their works next year.
