Ow

I just finished writing a short story for Alberta Anothology and it hurts. It's so dark and cruel and where do ideas like this come from? On the plus side it's probably pretty much what their looking for. The guys at CBC are twisted bastards.
The story is basically Sophie's choice, except the choice is between the POV character's Mother and lover. And it's mean. So, so cruel and I'm still hurting over it. I really hope it wins, because I don't want to have written something like this for nothing.
