Announcing the 2008
Prose Series Selection
We are proud to announce that Well Deserved, by Michael Loyd Gray, was chosen from among many worthy finalists to be the 2008 selection for our Prose Series.
A note on Well Deserved from our judges: The Vietnam War is ending, and America has an identity crisis. Everyone from the small town dope dealer to the returning vet, the townie grocery store clerk, and the new sheriff knows what they want in life, but the paths to their desires are conflicted and foreboding. In a narrative with all the clarity and determination of a prophecy, Gray's Well Deserved chronicles the struggles of four people as they come to the stark realization that their paths are not solitary, but entwined, and their very lives hinge on one shared moment.
