Ebook Cover Contest

So I'm part of a group of authors and readers on Facebook called "Queer Sci Fi". They had their 2nd annual Flash Fiction Contest, just 300 words in a speculative fiction theme incorporating the subject: discovery. Last year in the contest I took 2nd place. This year, I didn't place in the written contest, but the group is putting out the submissions in an eBook so they also ran a cover contest. Out of the 10 covers submitted, I took 2nd. I do get a $20 cash prize, but they won't be using my cover for the eBook.

 

So now I need to come up with an idea to write for it. What do you think of the cover and does it inspire any plot bunny ideas?

Looks like he's heading into something (hence the colors and lights). Maybe something magical? Maybe a gateway to another world? 

 

I'm sure whatever you write will be great as always. ;)

To me, he looks as if he is on the edge of one world, transitioning into the next.

Thanks Valkyrie! I think the theme of transition is very much going to have to come into play.

Sounds like I am repeating what Caz and Val said but the words that came to my mind were wormhole and dimensional shift.

 

Congrats

 

And I love the pic!

Time travel!

Bridge leads to a portal into a separate dimension where time is skewed and he can move back or forward

Myrtle Beach or whatever it's called in Dark City.... Someone's dream sequence of a place that may or may not exist.  I also see the psychedelic cloud and a man who doesn't know where he is going....
