My entry to the Hysteria 2017 Short Story Competition, which was shortlisted and subsequently included in their anthology, Hysteria 6, can now be read under ‘Writings‘ at the head of this page.
As I’m about to compile our Competitions to enter in March piece I think I may be forgiven for mentioning that this competition was included in this feature, last summer – so your own story could well have been printed alongside mine…

This story was actually written for another (shoe-themed) competition some time ago, but failed to make the grade. It was only because the rest of the group nagged me to dust if off, tweak it, and send it out again that it ended up in Hysteria 6.
It’s a salutary lesson that one should never give up on one’s stories.
