  • Charmaine Wilkerson – Judge’s report February 2021 27th February 2021
    I have a soft spot in my heart for the Bath Flash Fiction Award, in part, because I published my very first piece of flash fiction in an anthology produced through this series. It was an honour to serve as an independent judge for the seventeenth award and, really, a joy to read for this. […]
  • Geeta Sanker Feb 2021 First Prize 27th February 2021
    Let Them Eat First by Geeta Sanker I’m in the short queue. The slow queue. The women’s queue. Along with the few remaining girls, and Noor to whom I cling as if she were my mother. Noor was a mother; she might still be one. For now, she has my trembling arms around her waist […]

  • Tim Craig Feb 2021 Third Prize 27th February 2021
    Now You See Him by Tim Craig My father could slip through keyholes, and similar small openings. Sure, other kids’ Dads could do some impressive things, like fix car engines, build sheds or start campfires with a piece of broken glass. But none of them could disappear without trace from a room where an argument […]

    Always Down a Dirt Road, I’m Walking by Sara Hills my two daughters with me. There are trees to the right of us and a field on our left. The field is cropped, oven-crisped at midday. It’s hot. Bright. Then it isn’t. A car whizzes past in a pall of dust, and I pull my […]
  • Regan Puckett Feb 2021 Commended 27th February 2021
    1902 by Regan Puckett When their silk skins shrivel and wither, the corn stalks are ready to be stripped, so you’re sent into the field with the metal bucket they bathed your brother in before your father stowed it in the barn and buried your brother in a hole in the yard, a barren spot […]
