In the interest of being helpful, here is a link to the text in the forums.It took me 20 minutes to find it, so I thought I'd save other people the trouble. I found it much easier to comprehend what the hell was happening with the text in front of me as I listened. Jen Rhodes is a great reader, and she imparted some much needed emotion to the piece. I am very impressed with her narration, and I think the story sounds better than when I read it, but I just couldn't make heads nor tails of it without the text. So, public service everyone.
Oh, and I note that the discussion in the contest thread is pretty much the same as the discussion in this one. Not surprising I suppose.
Personally, I'm in the didn't-much-care-for-it-but-appreciates-the-pretty-word-pictures camp.
I think flash fiction tends to be a lot more hit-or-miss than longer stories do. If you want to harness that surrealism, it becomes the whole story with no grounding to be had. And while the pictures are nice, it is a bit too easy to fall into meaninglessness or perceived meaninglessness for too many readers.
I somewhat agree with StePH in that I think this surrealism problem tends to be mostly fantasy-specific. I'm not sure why that is. I think I remember some Science Fiction things by Roger Zelazny hitting me that way, although nothing immediately comes to mind, but it seems that modern flash fiction tends to get too weird less commonly in Science Fiction or Horror than in Fantasy. I wonder why?
