RE: Fifty word challenge results and new writing prompt!
Thanks for the top-3 shoutout @jayna!
The fact that all 3 of those relate to war/battle may be a nod to our current events. I can't speak for everyone, but the threat of fighting and war is more in the forefront of our minds now than it has been in a long time.
I absolutely agree. It’s a tumultuous time in world history. I think we turn to fiction both for an escape and to find a way to make sense of various things that grip us (among other reasons). I am amazed by the frightening nature of some of the fiction work that is being produced right now, even in little 50-word stories.
