Last Spring, we decided to do a Flash Fiction contest. So we decided we had to do it again this summer.

Welcome to the 2nd annual Digital Readership Flash Fiction Contest.

This year’s Flash Fiction winner was selected based on the use of literary devices, action paced narrative, dialogue, high stakes conflict, and ticking time bomb resolution, told in a 100 words.

This year’s winning story is published below.


award“The Victim”
by Elizabeth Simmons

Officer Serena Moreno put the strewn infant into a bag.
She knew Candy’s MO. Candy shot civilians to sell drugs.
Man, he was the Teutonic legend in the hood.
Cops were afraid to step foot in CandyLand.
Candy rolled down the street in his SUV, munted on weed. At the stop, the windows lowered. “Run, pig!” He belted, snatched the MK47 off the seat, pointed the gun, jutted his head out the window, and yelled: “Have your guts for gators!”
The gun’s safety gridlocked; she darted forward, and shot him. Proceeded to the victim he left behind–took out her bag.
