PseudoPod 367: Flash On The Borderlands XVIII: Flash Fiction Contest III is a PseudoPod original.

PSEUDOPOD PRESENTS THE WINNERS OF THE ESCAPE ARTISTS FORUM’S FLASH FICTION CONTEST 2013

THIRD PLACE “Whispers From The Trench” by Robert McKinney

That’s when I saw them. Three shapes dressed in enemy kit, slogging from their lines in the pockmarked soil to allied trenches to the southwest. Each had air tanks strapped onto their backs and had faces blocked by masks and gas bottle tubing.

SECOND PLACE “The Violin Family” by James Douglas

Music: Brice Catherin “Number 3: Version for violin and chamber orchestra” available at The Free Music Archive.

There are four members of the violin family: the violin, the viola, the cello and the double bass.

FIRST PLACE “Mr. Flyspeck” by R.K. Kombrinck

She hadn’t been afraid, only curious and surprised. Something was sitting on the desk. It looked like a rat, or mouse. Three feet tall with orange fur and wild eyes. She remembered how it smiled at her. How it spoke.
