A candlelight dinner, walking on the beach, a kiss under the mistletoe- what do you think of when you hear the words 'timeless romance'? Do you see a couple like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in Sleepless In Seattle or maybe the take-your-breath away romanticism of a movie like Ever After? Do you think hot passion or sweet love? Love comes in all shapes, sizes ad forms and we want to know your idea of true romance.
Submit your most romantic, most sentimental, most heartfelt, most passionate romance in a short, short story. Give us
"A Love Affair" in 1,000 words or less and the winner's story will be published in THE OASIS, given a cover byline and win a writing journal and pen set. Are you up to
the challenge?

"A Love Affair"
**And yes, I know we have "flash fiction" up there and flash fiction is technically not supposed to be over 500 words so let's just say it's flash fiction in a short, short story! LOL In other words, we're not being literal about the title. Good luck and happy writing!**
***WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!!****
