Dear friends,
Given that my short story Fish, which won second place in the Writer Advice Flash Fiction Competition 2022, has now been removed from their website and can no longer be accessed there, I have decided to offer it here. Non-subscribers can access it for a token fee. (I do occasionally need chocolate to stay sane. 🙂 )
It’s my first time trying out the Premium content widget, so I apologize in advance should something not work as it’s supposed to. Please be lenient and let me know what’s happening on your end. Many thanks in advance!
