NTSIKA KOTA, SOFIA MARIAH MA, CECIL BROWNE, DIANA MCCAULAY AND MARY ROKONADRAVU
This collection is titled after the overall winning entry by Eswatini’s Ntsika Kota – a tense, frightening portrait of a killer.

The other winning stories – by Sofia Mariah Ma (Singapore), Cecil Browne (England), Diana McCaulay (Jamaica) and Mary Rokonadravu (Fiji) – feature climate change-wracked oceans, a child of escaped slaves turned detective and struggling communities where harsh realities force good people into bad decisions.
