As usual, thank you to the promptmeisters.

I think Pop Pop had more trouble with his story than I had with mine.

Thanks for this prompt! It pushed me to write one of my favourite stories of the year.

Click. A twisted love/ghost story.

I’m liking each post here after I read it so I can keep track. Nine wildly different takes consumed thus far. Exactly what I was hoping for - lots of different styles and voices.

A question: is posting my story on Substack considered publishing for real? If I wanted to take it to a literary magazine, would there be any legal problems or would it be okay?

Depends on the magazine. Some allow it, most don't. Check their submission guidelines.

I enjoyed writing to this prompt. There are some awesome stories here! Great job everyone. It’s inspiring to see how different each writer’s voice is.
