Eilidh from Thain in Vain and Charlotte of Drafty Devil are your fabulous co-hosts for the 13 Week Streak – Summer Flash Fiction Challenge. One flash fiction story under 500 words a week for 13 weeks – this is your challenge.
Remember the Stanley’s Cup?
I told you about it a few weeks ago. Still no? It’s the week 13 competition when we will all be vying for the coveted Stanley’s Cup and the title of Ultimate Streaker!
Oh, and this nifty badge!
Well, I’m pleased to report that Charlotte and I have been tenting our fingers and scheming up ideas of what we can do differently for the prompt that week — and we’ve come up with something pretty awesome! Can you say Mystery Basket! We’ll give you the prompt, as well as Mystery Basket of things/characters/words/phrases/activities that must appear in your story! It’s going to be soooo good!
Anyway, we’re still eight weeks away, so without further ado, here’s your week 6 prompt.
Prompt – Week 6
What could this man possibly want from your character?
A character is at an arcade on the pier, when a man comes up and grabs his/her shoulder.

I just want to thank you so much for doing this. If it weren’t for this prompt, I wouldn’t have had the direction to be working on anything right now. My working life has been extremely chaotic since the patient I was working with for five months went into the hospital and the agency I was working through never found me another case. I had no sense of direction and was becoming extremely depressed. Writing is my salvation in this world, so thank you for the very necessary sense of direction.
I’m also glad this isn’t a daily prompt. A weekly one is perfect right now!
Cheers.
Hi Cara, thank you for your kind words. I’m touched that something so simple like a weekly prompt can contribute to helping you through a tough time. It’s been great reading your stories! I’m also glad it’s a weekly prompt! Take care, Eilidh
