I’m always excited when one of my weird little stories finds a home somewhere, so I was thrilled this Valentine’s Day, when my flash fiction piece “Hindsight” won 2nd Honorable Mention in The Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition and was published at The Ghost Story website.
If you’d like to read my traumatic little tale, click here. Then visit the contest home page to read the other two winning stories. I found “The Coal Mape” by Kurt Newton to be especially chilling.
Happy February, y’all!

Congratulations, Juett! You deserve it! Thank you for sharing this one with me in the early stages. 🙂
Thank YOU for your fabulous help revising it! It wouldn’t have seen the light of day without you, I’m sure.
Awe shucks.
