It's still June 12 over here, but due to time zones the @natflashfictionday.bsky.social prompts have started getting rolled out. I have written 2 out of 3 so far! Hoping to submit at least half of them before the end of the program. Also reading all the amazing stories being shared for 24 hrs!

Prompt #0: Water Under the Bridge
Welcome to The Write-In! This year, we're celebrating the

have until 23:59 BST on Sunday to submit your responses for
possible publication here at the Write-In over the course of the next week.

To kick off our series of hourly prompts, write a flash about forgiveness or reconciliation. Use water in your story in some way, but do not use the phrase 'water under the bridge'.
