300 words was the challenge. Making sure it had a beginning, a middle, and an end. I'd done it before, but failed on the second try. Third time around, and I got through. The competition was steep with authors from all genre submitting the most incredible sci-fi flash fiction on the theme of Impact. 182 stories were submitted, only 110 chosen.
Well, I made it through. Below is the list of those who made it. It's in alphabetical order so feel free to scroll through the titles. *doinghappydance*
