Congratulations to Odhran Leeson of S3 who recently won the Scottish Book Trust 50 word Fiction Competition!  The prompt was: a family meal (written in 50 words). Here is his winning entry:

 

It was dinner time. The Connellys were ready to eat the succulent roast chicken in front of them. Kenny, the dad, was about to cut it when, suddenly, it lunged at him. Gobbled him down and swallowed him whole. The rest sat in stunned silence imagining death by chicken.
