anthology fantasy ficition imagination oneshot prompted prompts short stories

This book is full of short one-shot musings that are too short to be short stories and not quite artful enough to be poetry.

I often come across writing prompts on Pinterest or Tumblr and a story begins to shape in my mind. Now I have a place to write them while isolation madness sets in. I hope you enjoy these short stories as much as I enjoy writing them, and if you have a good prompt, send it my way!
