    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner Defying the Dark

    Two words changed our lives forever. “Active shooter.” We all knew what it meant. We’d had drills. When Principal Deen’s tense, hushed voice spoke those words over the PA, we understood. Sandra Collins hurried to the door. I was glad she was class leader today. I wasn’t sure I’d have thought...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner Convergence by T.E. Bradford

    Story Title: Convergence I first saw the door as a child. I’d come in from the pool and got turned around. The hotel halls all looked alike. As tears pooled in my eyes, I found a door with a purple tag with an image of a door. Purple was my favorite color. Perhaps someone in this room could...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES by AliceO

    I must admit, as someone with a rather extreme bee phobia, this one hit close to home for me. Although for me the idea of taking a class to force myself to try a desensitization technique is nearly as terrifying as the real thing. LOL I didn't mind the progression at all. For me, I would have...

    Hello!

    Wow, Jeigh! How traumatic that must have been. I can't begin to imagine. I'm glad you ventured out to talk with folks here. I find everyone to be very kind and helpful. I don't write Romance or Cozy (I'm a Spec and Hist Fic), but I do self-publish quite a bit. Like you, I started out traditional...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner Home Sweet Home by T.E. Bradford

    Story Title: Home Sweet Home “Hey! This flipping machine ate my quarter!” Connor kicked at the Home-Sweet-Home arcade game. “Watch it, Ladd-o.” Ripley’s hunched, disfigured form cast a crooked shadow. He gave the tweener kid his evilest eye. “These games aren’t cheap, you know.” He stroked the...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner Just a Bunch of Insects by T. E. Bradford

    Thank you so much, DRM. I appreciate it. I'd had a very emotional evening with my tweener, and this one just poured out. I guess it's true that our emotions can really allow us to connect with others. --Tracy

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner Just a Bunch of Insects by T. E. Bradford

    Mom got me the ant farm for my birthday last fall. She thought watching bugs build tiny tunnels in an inch of dirt packed between two plastic plates would teach me about responsibility. How coming together to get something done not only made it easier, but better. About teamwork. For the good...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner A Beautiful Arrangement by T.E. Bradford

    Thank you so much, Leslie! I'm honored! A HUGE shout out to my fellow contest entrants. The stories were all so good! I almost wish they were still out there somewhere so I could go back and comment on them -- there were so many lovely characters and great worlds! I'll do my best to pick an...

    Fortnight Flash Fiction Winner A Beautiful Arrangement by T.E. Bradford

    Every day, I see him. He sets his easel up with the others. They line the curved street like portable windows. Squared glimpses into the mind and soul, portrayed in oil or acrylic. Pastel visions of faraway dreams; black and white interpretations of a colored world. How he intrigues me. It’s...
