I’m honoured that my short story, “The Pool Light,” won 2nd place in the FBCW Fiction Contest and will be forthcoming in the WordWorks Anthology. Thank you to the judge, KT Wagner, for these thoughtful comments:

The Runner Up: The Pool Light by Estella Kuchta

"A haunting story. The narrator voice in The Pool Light is pitch perfect. The child's perspective is absorbing and tragic, while at the same time wonderous and magical. A tricky balance to achieve, and the author has done it masterfully. The difficult subject matter isn't shied away from, and the child's interpretation is heartbreakingly believable."

-- Judge KT Wagner
