Here we have some small quotes from this year’s nominated short stories.

“Cancerfrelst” (“Cancersaved”), A. Silvestri, Lige under overfladen 12: Efter fødslen (Just Below the Surface 12: After the Birth), SFC

“You know that we have tried everything earthly medicine can do?” “Yes.” “You know that we have done everything in our power and that your signature frees us from all responsibility in the future?” “Yes, I know.”

“Efter fødslen” (“After the Birth”), Nikolaj Johansen, Lige under overfladen 12: Efter fødslen (Just Below the Surface 12: After the Birth), SFC

She was found 44 years ago and transported here, and we haven’t seen anything like her since, never found a form of life comparable to her in looks or complexity. She’s one of a kind.

Verdens rigeste mand og hans tro tjener Boris (The Richest Man in the World and his Faithful Servant Boris), Chr. Winther, Smspress

“Boris, buy all the bakeries and get them to make me pomegranate cakes.” “But, good sir, what about other kinds of bread and cake?” “Boris, buy.” “Yes, good sir.”
