Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!
We are excited to announce a new contest to celebrate the spirit of the holiday. Below are the guidelines and the prize. The prompt:

- Prize is $10 cash.
- Word count: 1000-1200 words. (Please do not email asking for exceptions.)
- This work must be original. Please do not submit anything you’ve published before. After you’ve entered, you cannot request to change your story.

- Please email your entry to us. File types accepted include: .doc, .docx, or .rtf file. Email: shortstory.flashfictionsociety(at)gmail(dot)com. Do NOT send a PDF. From now on, we’re only accepting entries via email–we no longer accept entries in the comments.
