Winners of "The Prompt's" 100-Word Challenge

I’m happy to announce the winners of The Prompt’s 100-word story challenge, chosen by a panel of Phillips’ editors and myself. They are:

FIRST PLACE: to Karen Crawford for “The Missing”.

SECOND PLACE: to Jeff Friedman for “What Had Been Lost”.

HONORABLE MENTION: to Sreemanti Sengupta for “Summer”.

These stories were a delight to read and are a great way to reintroduce Phillips’ ongoing Prompt short fiction series.

These selections will be published on Phillips’ website and newsletter in the coming week, and selected writers will be contacted separately for prize arrangements.
