FAMILY MATTERS AWARD WINNERS 1st Place S.P. MacIntyre receives $1,500 for “Pinch.” I consider myself a pretty unflappable guy, but with my heart batting against the inside of my chest like a moth in a killing jar and the cocaine giving everything a furious urgency, I’m surprised that the only thing I could muster was, “What are you doing?” S.P. MacIntyre earned his MFA at the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign, and his work has appeared in cream city review; Hobart (web); Cease, Cows; The Rattling Wall; and, now, Glimmer Train Stories. He was born in Los Angeles but currently lives with his wife in South Florida, where he edits newsletters and writes books.Twitter: @spmacintyre
