Runner-up: Three White Horses

November 14, 2008

The car pulled up flush to the curb and slowed to a stop. It was an uninteresting car, big and brown and undoubtedly one of the last in Denver to run solely on gasoline. That didn't matter much, though. There would be plenty of time later to go out and get one of those fancy little electric cars. There would be plenty of money, as well.

Runner-up: Mitzpah

November 14, 2008

Nobody much noticed him, the young man sitting near Denver's Union Station, the city's hub for rail, light rail and bus traffic. He sat on a bench beneath the Welcome Arch, centered at the end of 17th Street. The bench was at a right angle to the arch, and he sat on the station side, the side that faced people arriving in the city with a kinetic sculpture whose graceful, winglike arms lazily turned, variously exposing the etched words Vitajte, Karibu, Benvenuto, Aloha and others saying Welcome in Slovak, Swahili, Italian, Hawaiian, English and a dozen other languages.

November 14, 2008

November 14, 2008

by Robert Pogue Ziegler

Peanut sat on the cracked concrete stoop like Alice on the mushroom, bare feet folded under her rump, faded SpongeBob T-shirt hooked over her knees. She scooped handfuls of loose charcoal from a brazier made from the bottom third of a rusted 50-gal drum and pressed it into a heap of wet cotton set on a scrap of tin siding laid before her. Her sunburned nose wrinkled with determination as she beat at the mixture with tiny palms. Teresa watched her and marveled how the girl resembled her own mother
