As for the short short stuff, i do it to keep my hand in, more than anything, and it's a way to excise certain personal obsessions. Two of those pieces are years old, one distilled from a much longer and better piece; the other inspired by my New Orleans travel journal. The more recent one, which actually won, I really really love, and is entirely a product of my high school obsession with homosexuality, Oxford and the 1880s. Randomly mannered prose just spews out of me when bored.
