This was so much fun! A bit of magical realism inspired by my host country: https://everbeingdreamed.substack.com/p/the-balancing-bracelet-of-boyaca

Throwing mine into the mix.

I hope it doesn't bleed all over the nice stories.

Thank you to the prompters.

I wasn't originally going to take part in this month's prompt, but I was struck by a sudden burst of inspiration, so here's my contribution:

This was fun, but way harder than I expected it to be. Enjoy this choose-your-own-adventure style science fiction story at exactly 1,000 words.

Went a bit off the rails with the prompt, but that's part of the fun, yeah?

I loved being part of the live session but other commitments meant I couldn’t submit my story on time. I was still inspired to FINISH (a big deal for distracted me) and have published it via my page anyway, so a huge thank you for the inspiration. Now I will take great pleasure in reading the entries of writers who got their shit together in time to meet the deadline ❤️
