The December 2002 Silver Clitorides Awards Presentation
The seats of the small multiplex theatre were filled with authors and fans. This month's presentation of the Silver Clitorides Awards were preceeded by a complimentary showing of a classic play, in Cinemascope (TM), Dolby Stereo(TM) and SurroundSound (TM). As the play drew to a close, the audience squirmed and moaned in appreciation of the erotic undertones of the duality of the ideal lover/ultimate disappointment.

He reaches for the silver trimmed envelope... the contents appear in his hand. He's afraid to look into his Muse's eyes. He reads the name of the winner, and suddenly understands. He turns on the microphone. "I love you, microphone," he says as he carresses it. "Good evening, Ladies, Gentlemen, Dragons and Trolls, authors and fans of all persuations. Welcome once again to the monthly presentation of the Silver Clitorides Awards. Without further delay, the winner of the Silver Clitorides Award for the Best story of December, 2002, is..." "...Anticipation Like a Drug by Nick Scipio," his Muse finishes in a very, very mellow voice. "Congratulations, Nick, and congratulations to all the Finalists and Nominees!" |
