REEDSY PROMPTS is a weekly short story contest where you are inspired by a prompt!

This week, we provided the prompts & we are judging the contests, and it’s a form contest. What does that mean?

We explain at the link, and it’s fun and creative if this is your introduction to the idea!

Questions? Ask in the comments. https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/contests/306/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wow
