My friend Kimberly Ann Southwick is Editor in Chief of a literary magazine called Gigantic Sequins you may well have heard of. (Of which you may well have heard...? Nah.) It's great and you should definitely think long and hard about picking up a copy or few.
But I tell you this now because Gigantic Sequins is running its second annual flash fiction and poetry contest! In this case, flash fiction is being defined as less than 1000 words. Oh hey! This week's challenge is also less than 1000 words! Hmmm...
Check out the details herein:

The deadline is August 15th. Do it.
