RESTACK the stories you read in Substack Notes to expand the discoverability of all the participants in this prompt party! (One of my fav ways to do this is by highlighting a favorite sentence and restacking with that. More about restacking here.)
Your fiction MUST be written to the prompt in the previous post.
Your fiction must not exceed 1,000 words.
We will only read Substack or view-only Google Doc links, in other words…
This thread is for LINKS ONLY*

This month, readers get a two-for-one deal. Not only did I take the Fictionistas prompt and create a "semoir," but I also participated in a Flash Fiction battle. Both prompts were fantastic. Thanks to @stopwritingalone and @jackiedana at @fictionistas and @andrewrobertcolom and @sandolore at Flash Style Fiction Battle. I hope you enjoy. Share which one you liked the best!

After reading this month’s prompt, I couldn’t think of a damn thing to write. And then it came to me in a flash.
This one went over the allotted word count, so please disregard every fourteenth word. Thanks.

I may be punished for going over the word count. Can I be forgiven? Can't wait to read what everybody wrote--it was a particularly interesting prompt.
