The results of the 5th Annual Micro Award have been announced, and the winner is … not me. That title goes to Bruce Holland Rogers for his story “Divestiture.” Runner-up this year is Aubrey Hirsch for her story “Certainty” which appeared in PANK … the same great magazine that also published my story “Seven Items In Jason Reynolds’ Jacket Pocket, Two Days After His Suicide, As Found By His Eight-Year-Old Brother, Grady,” which was the runner-up last year. So congrats to Bruce and Aubrey, and congrats to PANK!
What about the finalists? you ask. Well, there were a few finalists, one of them being my story “Fright X,” which now makes this four years in a row I’ve been recognized by the Micro Award. Am I bummed I didn’t win? Not at all. As they say, it’s just an honor to be nominated.
Anyway, if you haven’t already, you can check out “Fright X” here, as well as an interview I did about the award and flash fiction here.
