Infinite Windows Press is pleased to announce the start of its' 8 Minutes Anthology Contest. The concept is simple. This anthology will have a central theme:

The Earth is 8 light minutes away from the Sun. Something has happened to the Sun. Maybe it’s gone nova, been transformed, been replaced or stolen or…? But in 8 minutes everything will change for life on Earth.

Restrictions: The story must take place on Earth or on the Moon, or on a human-built satellite, ship or station orbiting the Earth or the Moon. Story must include the 8 minutes between the time the Sun is affected and Earth feels the effects of it. Story may include prior to and subsequent after the 8 minute window.

Stories will be accepted from the following genres:

Science Fiction

Fantasy

Horror

Submitted entry will be a maximum of 5000 words.

Selection of stories for publication rests entirely on Infinite Windows Press staff and their appointed judges.
