November 19 Micro Fiction Longlist

Thank you once again to Joanna Campbell for providing this month’s prompt. You can read Joanna’s stories in our three annual anthologies: What Was Left, Impermanent Facts, and Future Shock. As well as in No Good Deed, our charity anthology published on 7th November 2019.

We received 95 entries so the winner will receive £190 and a free entry to the annual Retreat West Flash Fiction Prize. The runner-up will get a free entry too, plus both stories will be published in the Flash Fiction section of our website.

The final ten will be published next Monday with public voting opening at the same time.

All readings and votes are anonymous so writers if you are on this longlist, please do not tell anyone which story is yours.

Thank you to all who submitted and congrats if you made the longlist!
