Chasing Spring was written for a Flash Fiction competition in the space of 55 hours. The rules were:

• A max. of 500 words.

• Your entire story must take place in an AIRPORT.

• Your story must include the word SPRING somewhere. (Plural is also okay.)

• Your story must include the phrase: IT WAS EMPTY – it can be anywhere, in dialogue, as part of a sentence, or as a sentence on its own.
