November 1). A prize of $200 and online publication will be given for the best
piece of writing under 500 words that we receive. Flash fiction, short-shorts,
micro-prose, prose poems, poetic prose, just plain short stories--whatever you
call your briefest prose pieces, send them our way! It's only $9 to enter, and
all submissions will be considered for the print journal.</span></font></p><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">For more information and
