The 2022 Summer Short Story Winner

 

Congratulations to Our Winner

“Coins Over Flowers” by Rylann Watts

“Coins Over Flowers” was the kind of story we were itching to finish. Even as we were searching for other finalists, it stuck around and begged us to return to it. We’ll be publishing the story as a feature on our website next month, and Rylann will receive $500 as the winning author.
