deviantART Writing Contest, Runners Up

by 

As a follow up to the contest we ran a few months ago on deviantART looking for 7 top notch Flash Fiction pieces to feature here on 365tomorrows, this is our second ‘week of deviantART’ where we feature the Runners Up. We had a fantastic response from the writing community there, with 40 entries coming through in the short time they had to prepare. After reviewing all the entries, 7 were selected as winners, and each story was published here in March, and will also be featured in upcoming episodes of the podcast, Voices of Tomorrow.

For the next 7 days we’re featuring the 7 stories that nearly won, and as such are each too good not to share with you here.

We hope you’ll enjoy reading all of them as much as we have.

What is Flash Fiction?

"Flash fiction is fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended, lithe and muscular with no extra fat. It pounces in the first paragraph, and if those claws aren’t embedded in the reader by the start of the second, the story began a paragraph too soon. There is no margin for error. Every word must be essential, and if it isn’t essential, it must be eliminated."
