Every year Vestal Review calls for nominations from editors for one work of fiction under 500 words for their flash fiction award, the VERA . It's never easy to choose, and remember, I love you all. This year's nominee from Star 82 Review , issues 7.1 – 7.4,  is "Having the Repairman Over" by Shaun Holloway from issue 7.4. It's up to the judge there to decide the winners. Good Luck, Shaun!

As an editor, I am allowed to nominate one flash fiction each year to submit for consideration for the VERAs, the award from Vestal Review . Star 82 Review 's nomination for work from 2018 (issues 6.1 - 6.4) is Ona Siporin's "The Angels' Day Job."  I just received news that it is a semi-finalist and will be forwarded to the finals. Good luck to Ona! You can read her short piece in issue 6.3 here . Previously, Gen Del Ray's story " Tough " was a finalist for the VERAs from issue 4.1 (2016).
