“The best speculative fiction reaches beyond the bells and whistles of the genre to explore the deeper complexities of the human condition.  The original stories selected in this year's Writers of the Future contest include strong attempts to do just that [such as] Lee Beavington's "Evolution's End," an old-school science fiction romp about a group of explorers who discover a simple cellular organism whose evolution has made it the greatest—and deadliest—of survivors. ”
