Call Me MAYbe Flash Fiction Challenge WINNERS!!!

Sometimes your life can change with just ONE phone call.

Our challenge for May was to write a flash fiction piece of 1,000 words or less
that began with THIS sentence:

The phone rang.

25 stories were submitted. They ranged from scary, romantic, suspenseful, dramatic, tragic, and hilarious...but each hinged on just ONE phone call.

I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who submitted stories, those who read and commented, and everyone who donated prizes for the winners.

My utmost thanks goes to my 'blind judge' (my hubby, who isn't actually blind) for reading through them all and choosing the winners. I formatted every story the same, and gave them to him with only the number and title of each, so that he truly had no idea who had written which story. And don't worry--he never reads my blog, so your story was safe! :)

Without further ado, our winners are:

First Place: #14 - All That Glitters by Alayna-Renee Vilmont
Second Place: #9 - Chosen by Leila Smith
Third Place: #6: My Name's Leonard Davenport by Tom Britz




Two stories made such an impression that they received the judge's Honorable Mention. And they are:

#1 - The Pawn by Kathleen Smiley
#10 - Savi by Ayesha Inoon
