Flash Fiction Runner-Up: Spring Forever by Erudessa Gentian

Please join us in congratulating the runner-up in Page Turner Magazine’s second flash fiction contest: Love In Paris! Erudessa has penned a heartwarming tale about a love that transcends the vagaries of time and place. It is with the highest esteem (and not a small amount of wistfulness) that we present to you, “Spring Forever.”

At least the steady rhythm assured her worrywart niece that everything but her blasted leg was in top shape.
