Spencer Sandoval

Spencer Sandoval has been writing stories since he was a kid. His grandfather encouraged him with the reward of one dollar for every completed work, no matter how small. When Spencer developed an interest in science fiction, he began to write more and more, catalyzed by the endless possibilities of the genre. Now he writes almost daily, and always in the memory of his grandfather who helped his talent grow. �The Signal� was my first attempt at flash fiction, and I had absolutely no idea how difficult it was going to be. The entire time writing this, I watched in horror as my word count got closer and closer to the limit, always very aware that I couldn�t waste a single word. It�s a lot of pressure, but definitely worth it. I feel like the thing I love most about this story is that the ending packs a punch. And I did my best to make the main character a relatable enough guy that it would mean more to the reader when they got to those last words. Hopefully I accomplished that goal.
