So there it is. We have our winner.
Congrats to Trey Dowell. He's the winner. 177 seconds was really incredible. I remember being pretty shaken after reading it. Such a powerful 1,000 words. But also, to all the finalists and semi-finalists, and competitors, this was such an enriching experience. I read a lot of incredible stories. I now have a bunch of new writers I love, stories that have stuck with me, and styles that I want to take from. This was my first flash fiction competition and I couldn't be more appreciative of joining and randomly finding this awesome community with great writers and a really fun competition. I'm stoked to have gotten an honorable mention, but most importantly, I can't wait for the short story competition because I have left this first competition a better writer thanks to the feedback and insight of the people here. Thanks and great job everyone. Be proud.

I agree. This was my first competition, and I had a blast. This community is fantastic. I've learned a lot, and now I see how much further I have to go... Congrats to all of you winners!

@ cbartley Thanks! And congratulations on your Honorable Mention. There were so many great stories in the final--I have no idea how the judges whittled everything down. I was just fortunate they were in relatively good moods when they read mine. :)
@ Zblugg Thank you--I'll take that hate/envy/admiration as the true complement I know it is!! :) I felt it myself during last year's Short Story competition when I finished the dreaded 5th in the second round...missing the finals by one spot seriously damaged my calm. |

The angst could be felt within a forty-yard radius. Small birds keeled over in his wake between the parking lot and the bookstore where our writers' group met. Seriously though--congrats on success with one of the best SF short-shorts I've read in years.

They haven't updated the website--can someone post a link so everyone can see it? I'm dying to see where some of these finished!
