We were intrigued by all the different responses to our “green” prompt. These stories ran the gamut from horror to healing, from baking a mousse to planting tomatoes. We were treated to mudslides, flags, violins and even M & M candies! Many of you also experimented with new writing forms, which are an inspiration to everyone. Once again, we are delighted with the endless imaginations of all you great writers. Our Patrons do us proud!

2022-Micro-01 - "Green"
With spring just around the corner, the color that is foremost in our thoughts is … green!
And of course we all know green is more than just a color. It has so many meanings, all of them worthy of a story or two! There are greenhorns, green pastures, village greens, green lights, green tea. What or who else is green? Climate change activists, money, shamrocks, envy … the list goes on and on.
What other meanings spring to your mind, as you explore this wonderful prompt?
We invite you to enter a story with 100 words of less inspired by your own interpretation of our “green” prompt. We can’t wait to see what all of you come up with!
Here are some previous 100-word stories to inspire you:

A challenge indeed to write a story with beginning, middle and end in one hundred words exactly. For me, the theme “green” conjures up images of paints, spring, grass, gardens and conservation. Congratulations for encouraging the creative spirit in writers.
We’re so glad you like these “drabble” challenges, Margarida. Please note the stories don’t have to be exactly 100 words. They can be less than 100! Also note that this first Micro Fiction of 2022 is a direct result of our most recent Patron vote. Voice Club Patrons voted an overwhelming 92% to have four Micro Fiction contests this year, so we thought we’d better get going with the first one! And… Read more »
