Jerry:
Lol, if you wish to call it Jesus... it's up to you :P

Pubbles:
To be honest, I didn't even think in terms of it being an "it" rather than a "he or she"... Oh well, can't win 'em all...

I do think you rushed the ending and wrap-up though, this could have been drawn out to a pretty decent size "short story"... You said you entered it into a contest?

If you can double check the rules of that contest to see if you can re-submit a piece to another contest if it doesn't win first place, you could re-work it into a longer piece of work and submit it to some of the other Sci-Fi writing contests.

There are dozens each year, for anywhere from no money (but publication in a magazine/Book and free copies of it) to thousands of dollars. I'd venture to say you'd have a good shot at it.

Jerry:
Thanks. I'm puzzled for the competition though... my 'category of writing' falls in 'Class A' that is 17-18 years old. But the results came in and said that there were no entries at all for Class A in my country. I know there have been mine and friends of mine, plus many more I'm sure of. I really don't know what happened... :(

And for the last part, maybe I rushed it at that time. I know it was getting quite late at night :P. I'll go through it again after my exams to please you :D

Pubbles:
Haha! I love it.

Don't push it on my account... But I seriously think you could enter and have a great chance of winning a lot of the contests I know of. Not sure how many are open to "all countries" but it shouldn't be too hard to find out if you look.

The Writer's Guide (2010) has a great index of contests, requirements and information.

Jerry:
Thank you, I'll look into it when I'll have the time and the inspiration to write :)
