NAWG Spring 100 x 100 micro-fiction winner is announced

We have a winner in the Spring 100 x 100 Flash Fiction competition - Lottie Hazell, with her story Breadcrumbs, wins the £100 prize. Our warmest congratulations to her.  Her story is below:

================================================================================================


Breadcrumbs


He found me eating cheese on toast in the bath. He didn't say anything. 

I heard him search for his own supper. The crackle of a pasta packet. I imagined the kitchen counter: butter, cheddar, bread. I had left him a note in case there had been a delay on the train line, a signal failure, a death. 

I submerged my body into the water and the crumbs that had landed on my chest floated like snowflakes. 

If I held myself here long enough, he might come back. Pull me out of the water, brush my hair, feed me fusilli.
