back to fiction

Well, seems like I didn't win the Ilkley Literature Fest's short story competition . Another one bites the dust. Don't you just love it when they don't acknowledge receipt of entry and don't even send you a polite little email saying:

"Thank you so terribly much for sending us your delightful piece of creativity. We are sorry but we were deluged with four million entries from across the universe, all of which were of an incredibly high standard, but, well, we can't give awards to everyone now, can we?"

Where is Ilkley, anyway?
