Ephemera by Maura Yzmore
Innuendo by Susan Gale Wickes

The winner of the April 2019 Story of the Month, and the $10 prize, is…

Fifty-Word Story

The title sets this up to be a meta-commentary on the little genre we all share here at 50WS, but the story itself is so much more than that. We see many different takes on dementia, aging, and loss from our community, but it’s rarely executed as well as Richard accomplished here.
