2020-Flash-04 – “Home”
Most of us have been spending all of our time at home during this global pandemic lockdown, so this is a subject many of us know all too well! Now’s your chance to write about a topic as old as mankind, yet newly experienced during these challenging times.
For our current “Flash Fiction” contest, we invite you to write a story that features home. Is home a place of refuge? A memory? Something longed for? How do your characters think of home and what stories do they tell?
Good luck!
