The Lunate 500- The Wrong Way...

Hello Scribblers

Another competition opportunity here- this time coming from Lunate- Literary Journal.
This Journal specialises in poetry, flash fiction and short stories.
They have lots of pieces up on their website, so if you aren't in the mood for writing or entering competitions, why not have a read and get some inspiration from others' work.

Lunate's current competition has the prompt 'The Wrong Way'

The competition will run from 12th April and close on Saturday 14th June at midday UK time.
A shortlist of fifteen stories will be announced shortly after the closing date, and then they will count down to the winner with daily publication of each of those stories. These dates for this will be announced closer to the time.
You are free to interpret the prompt as you wish but Lunate encourage you to approach your story from left-field, play with convention, get crafty with setting, whatever. Be bold. However, they asked the competition judge Rosie Garland exactly what she would be looking for from the entries, so take careful note..!
