Dappled Things, the Catholic literary journal, has the finalists for its 2021 J. F. Powers Prize for Short Fiction, and among them is a recent TAC graduate: Nnadozie Onyekuru (�17). 

�I wrote a draft of the story about 10 years ago and forgot about it,� admits Mr. Onyekuru. �Last year, however, I took a hard look at it, saw its deficiencies and, with the help of God�s grace, revised it.�

Titled �Decision,� the story is one of just 26 from among more than 400 submissions, which the magazine�s editors praised for �the beauty and depth packed into the work submitted.� It now moves to the contest�s next round.

�91����� Aquinas College made a mark on my soul,� Mr. Onyekuru recently wrote, with characteristic humility, on his Facebook page. �I have never ceased to marvel at that gift of a TAC education which I know I did not deserve. May God bless the College�s founders and all who contribute to its being more established.�
