"My Faulty Friend" by Merrimack writer Josh Cain was the winning entry in the adult category of the Merrimack Public Library's 2015 Flash Fiction Contest. The 2015 Flash Fiction Contest at the Merrimack Public Library invited patrons (child, teen, and adult) to submit a short story of 500 words or less that started with the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night." This contest was in homage to Charles Schultz's Snoopy character who was the spokesdog for National Library Card Sign-up Month 2015.
