We’re thrilled to present the shortlist for this year’s Flash Fiction Contest shortlist! It was truly difficult narrowing our selections down to just fifteen stories, but we managed. Stuart Dybek will now have the even more challenging job of picking out the three winning pieces from this group. Thanks once again to all of our submitters, and congratulations to those on the shortlist!
