9/16/2025

 
Get your creative juices flowing each week with these fun writing prompts and story starters by Brian A. Klems of Writing Day Workshops. The only rules: sit down, start writing, aim for at least 500 words (no upper word limit), and have as much fun as you can with it. ​

​This week's prompt is:
