With the definition as "nonrational happenings that are without casuality or rationality because they occur in the rational world where such things are not supposed to occur", I would say no.

Re: SneakyPie's Grand Writing Extravaganza Spectacular
"Low fantasy is characterised by being set in the real ("Primary") world, or a rational and familiar fictional world, with the inclusion of magical elements. In contrast, high fantasy is set in an alternative, entirely fictional ("Secondary") world with its own, albeit internally-consistent, rules that separate it from the real world."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_fantasy
Knowing what we know of humans, humans aren't magical; your policeman would probably need to use fantastic trinkets to be 'magical', or be alien.
Granted, there are degrees of low fantasy.

I wrote this as low fantasy; please tell me if this does not qualify.

I'm afraid I'm out, too much real life stuff got in the way this week.

Does the comp close at Server time Midnight or what?
EDIT: no matter, If this isn't low fiction, then it's still a short story of sorts

Technically Spy would win by default, since what m477 wrote isn't low fantasy.

Re: SneakyPie's Grand Writing Extravaganza Spectacular
1,000 words, centered on a trio of the standard 'oppressive police' from Dystopian Fiction. I've taken inspiration from Brazil in this story. (OTT bureaucracy, two names, the crime and the uniform of the Enforcers)

Re: SneakyPie's Grand Writing Extravaganza Spectacular

Re: SneakyPie's Grand Writing Extravaganza Spectacular
I'm not annoyed. I was pissed off that I wrote the story, with no one to compete against!

Re: SneakyPie's Grand Writing Extravaganza Spectacular
I'm gonna have to be a little boring and choose War. (Defined as a genre by The Guardian.)
Defining war as any story which features armed combat between two nations, city-states or w/ever as a primary focus. The story can be about soldiers in WW2, or street kids hiding from the evil aliens as Earth is subjugated. It's up to you.
