‘Wired’—the 2017 Flash Fiction Anthology by entrants to the sixth Worcestershire LitFest & Fringe competition. Fewer entries this year, but the judges said quality made up for quantity. Congratulations to Christine Griffin on her flash ‘Wired’ which has become the title of the anthology.

Note: there is a typo in the first edition of the anthology, Paul Howard’s flash “Delayed Train” on page 25 of Wired was incorrectly attributed to Paul Harris. A genuine error for which we apologise. It will be corrected in subsequent editions.
