    This is my first entry for the #planetorplastic competition! I wish the best of luck to all the contestants. To be honest, I've been wanting to write about something like this for a long time. The things that I have mentioned about myself in my entry is true. I hope we will all engage in the endeavor to save this planet. It needs you and me to stay united enough to fight off all its pollutants.

    The local library has a challenge. Write a quick story on a random prompt. Some are written in 10 minutes and shared immediately, others are written over the course of a week as homework. The latter is aimed to be around 500 words. They range from fantasy to science fiction, drama to mystery. The prompts can be anything and I'm often unprepared for them. I'll put the prompt first, the story after, then followed up by any notes I have to share. Each chapter is an isolated writing prompt. Included in the title is the target word count. ** Feedback **: No. I write these as a one-off for the local library writing group. I don't intend to further the story. Location: Local Library. Edition: First and Final Draft

    A place for all the short (less than 800 words) stories that I've written, since about 2023. I update once a blue moon when the mood strikes me. Reocurring themes include that feeling you get while dissociating at a moderately sized party, the blurry line between comedy and horror, and those little moments that nobody thinks of but I never shut up about. Some of it's not that good, but I don't think it really needs to be. I just want it to exist. --- Or; what several years of sporadic writing does to a mf.
