Enjoy this eclectic mix of short stories, flash fiction and poetry. This book is filled with winners and runners up of the competition on the theme 'The Day After,' part of Eastbourne Writes 2012, a community book and writing fair. All authors have interpreted the theme in their own creative way. There are Delilah and Sam who find a magic Amethyst, little Octavia's first hand account of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a baby's account of his own birth, a hilarious story of a lottery win (or not?) and many more. 'The Day After' will take you on many different journeys.
