“What Was Always There” received 1st place, selected by judge Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone (2011) and The Confusion of Language (2017).
Fallon wrote: “'What Was Always There' is spare and beautifully compact, covering just a handful of hours. The story revolves around an uncomfortable family dinner on a snow day, yet the writing is so polished and lovely it glows. 'What Was Always There' manages to evoke the particular loss and joy that seem to define so much of childhood; reading this story is like reliving a memory that haunts forever."
