Monday’s One-Minute Fiction: Week of February 19

Rise and shine! May I borrow a minute of your morning for a quick flash fiction challenge? How quickly does an idea spark and develop into a story when you only have a picture, a word, or a phrase…and one minute to write?

Monday’s One-Minute Fiction challenges you to write a complete micro-fiction piece in, you guessed it, one minute, no more, no less, based on the prompt provided! Of course, you can come back to edit for grammar & spelling, but the story itself must be written in a minute.

• Post it to your blog and tag it #1MinFiction.
• Link it back to this prompt post.

Now, let’s get writing, shall we? And…

Ready . . .
