    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner The Game

    The story flows nicely. The dialog is good. There is tension throughout. I’m left with more questions than answers. Who’s Regina and what’s so special about her house? What riddle is solved? I assume there are other teams competing? Are their lights visible through the trees? What do the...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner The Show Must Go On

    Nicely done. The first paragraph sets the story up, but I wonder if it's needed. The first four lines of dialog accomplish the same except for the fact the MC is dead. As I'm typing this, I'm reminded of the Sixth Sense where it's not revealed until the end that Bruce Willis's character is...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner The Old Oak

    This is an interesting piece. The reunion seems like the perfect situation. The characters are believable. The opening ten (or so) paragraphs are all background. I'd cut them all and start with Toni sitting down at the bar and ordering her favorite drink. Perhaps, to show her nervousness, she...
