Dear Reader,

The staff of Vestal Review welcomes you to Web issue 32, which comprises five flashes (the other six are available only in the print issue). From a prostitute to a princess, from a miner to a PhD candidate, the stories cover not only the gamut of professions, but, much more importantly, the gamut of human emotions.

As you noticed, we have also included a winner of the student contest that was run by the Ooligan Press in honor of launching Mark Budman and Tom Hazuka’s flash fiction anthology “You Have Time for This.”

We hope that you will buy the print issue for more stories. Meanwhile, enjoy.

Mark Budman
