Ian Sears ot long ago Ian Sears was watching a documentary about the drought Nin Kazakhstan. A week later he had a startling dream in which a thin, mysterious man eats a cat alive. When he woke up, he scribbled the scene down in his dream journal, something with which he and a friend had been experimenting. The image stuck with him. “Even if I didn’t write it down, I would have been still thinking about that a week later,” he said. That dream, and the documentary, eventually became the spark for Sears’ story “Place of Waiting,” which took first place in the Adult category of this year’s Short Story Contest. Sears said the dream journal entry appears nearly verbatim in the story, which focuses primarily on two men and their relationship with a drying-up lake outside of Pátzcuaro, Mexico. Having grown up in Australia and Cali- fornia, Sears is no stranger to drought. However, since his own experience was less extreme than what he saw happening in Kazakhstan, he decided to explore how individuals dealt with such harsh conditions. Following the age-old suggestion to “write
