Announcing the results of our first annual Ginkgo Prize! The awardee of our $50 flash CNF prize is “Acts of Grace” by Lissa Staples. Here's a small excerpt for now. The rest you'll be able to read on October 15th, when Volume 3, Issue 2 is released!

The Turning Leaf Journal
Ginkgo Prize in Flash CNF

"Acts of Grace" by Lissa Staples
In a moment surrounding a friend's decision to end the life of a beloved pet, Staples asks us to consider how violence could be an act of kindness. We like work that pushes us beyond our usual perspectives, and this essay did exactly that.

An excerpt from "Acts of Grace" by Lissa Staples

If I should dwindle into dementia and not know who I am anymore–if I can't write the histories in my head or sing 'Au clair de la lune' to my grandchildren or be trusted with their safety–I pray that my sons will love me enough to find an option and put me to sleep. I don't want to hang on just because my body can breathe another day.
