Poppy's short fiction story “Un viaje a Japón” is about a tourist's first few days in Tokyo and their experiences and emotions during the trip. Judges praised Poppy’s short story because it was "inventive, well-written, and displayed a great deal of creativity and sensitivity towards other cultures."
