Your Shoes
I wrote a new flash fiction story (750 words) for the Flash Fiction contest at World Horror this year. For the first time in three or four entries, I placed! Tied for second place. Twilight Tales sponsored the event this year and the top three stores will be published on their web page shortly.
The criteria for the stories were that you had to be able to read it in five minutes or less and it had to be a complete story with a beginning, middle and an end. It's a fun event, one of the ones I look forward to most at WHC. Judges this year were F. Paul Wilson, Ellen Datlow and Michael Slade (Jay and Rebecca Clarke).

Great work Bev. Loved reading something like that from you.
I haven't reread the winning story, so perhaps part of it was the dramatic presentation--hearing it read out loud. It had us in stitches.
The sheep one did nothing for me until the last sentence which was a good image to finish with.
The last one was abit odd too, but I like your's: the one where the minds switched place in the bodies was really good - I am glad we didn't get to see what happened when the woman awoke in the man's body.
I think your's should have won, personally, but second place is a good compromise
Left to right front row: Christopher M. Cevasco (2nd place), Martin Mundt (1st place), Bev Vincent (also 2nd place).
Back row, judges for the competition: F. Paul Wilson; the father-daughter writing team of Michael Slade, Rebecca & Jay Clarke; and Ellen Datlow.
