Life Encapsulated by Jon Nixon
A Fleeting Childhood by Jason Huynh
Mama by Lisa Lysen

The winner of the October 2015 Story of the Month, and the $10 prize, is…

A Fleeting Childhood

I love the sense of nostalgia packed into this story, even though it doesn’t directly resonate with my own personal experiences. I can imagine myself feeling the character’s emotions, purely through the strength of this story’s descriptiveness and phrasing. Fantastic work, Jason!
