If you like listening to short stories, you’re in for a treat every day this week.  The recent “Flash Fiction” contest in Litopia Writers’ Colony has produced a cornucopia of entries.  Asked to write no more than one thousand words on the subject of “The First Twin” (a topic inspired by our recent interview with #1 bestselling Italian author Paolo Giordano) Colonists have really excelled themselves.  Four very different short stories are on the shortlist – listen every day and work out which one you’d choose to be the winner.  Continues tomorrow.
