No Truck With Fewer

By Gordon Shure

Third Place Winner of the International 3-Day Novel Contest 2014

Professors of linguistics Matthew Raykins and Neil Natski are preparing for the 100th Annual Linguistics Awards. As the momentous London-hosted event approaches, the two ratchet up their decades-long rivalry to fever pitch. However, when one pens a promotional poem that accidentally draws the attention of Geoffrey Tashiwei - Internet legend and long time actor in the cult sci-fi drama Space Truck - all bets are off. In lending his support, the sci-fi icon summons hordes of fans: the Truckies.

Just what will happen at the Linguistics Awards? Could language as we know it be driven toward eternal change?
