Welcome to Wednesday Words! Every Wednesday I will post some sort of prompt for a flash fiction piece. The prompt will go live just after midnight Eastern time.
The prompt might be a picture, or it might be a list of things to include in a story, or maybe a phrase or a question or something from a “news of the weird” type thing, or a… who knows?
After that, it’s up to you. But if you do use the prompt to write a bit of flash fiction (say, 500 words or so) I’d love to see what you came up with, so comment below with a link to where it is on your blog (or on WattPad or wherever).
(And a pingback to the post here where you found the prompt would be appreciated but isn’t necessary.)
Oh, and this isn’t a contest or anything. It’s just a (hopefully) fun thing for all concerned.
And, hey, if it inspires more than 500 or so words, run with it!
a duck
a headache
a bucket
And, as always, I’d love to see what you come up with!
Novel Notes 
My husband wants it be known that if he was an animal, he’d be a cat, not a duck. :) (What brought this on? Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and there’s a duck in this prompt. :) It brings back memories of my father teasing my husband, then my boyfriend about being Donald Duck, since my husband’s name is Don. Don had remind us all over and over that if he’s going to be an animal, he’s a cat. A large, overfed lap cat, ahem. :)) Thanks for the inspiration as always!
