Published on by Editorial Staff

Kevin Broccoli’s story was singled out for Honorable Mention in 3rd Wednesday’s annual flash fiction contest by contest judge, John F. Buckley. He said of the story: “Magical realism? Dream logic? Grace Paley mixed with Borges? With some successful degree of the fantastic, we travel with the main character towards and perhaps beyond a crossroads in her life.” You can read Kevin’s story HERE or in the autumn issue of 3rd Wednesday.
