NFFD 2021: Prompt #13


 The Decennial

It's National Flash Fiction Day's tenth anniversary, and we'd like to celebrate ten years of microfiction competitions.  We've had amazing writers and judges join us over the years, and you can read our entire archive at the NFFD website, under the 'Competitions' tab.

Our microfiction competition has a maximum word limit of 100 words (excluding title), so for our next 2021 prompt, we'd like to challenge you to write a flash of 100 words or fewer that spans a decade.  Feel free to employ flashbacks, flash forwards, segmented flash, jumping through time, or any other means to pack a ten-year time span into a mere 100 words.

If you’re submitting this to us, make sure to note that this is a response to Prompt 13: The Decennial.  

You can submit responses until 23:59 BST on Sunday, 27 June 2021 for a chance to be published here at The Write-In.

Of course, we warmly invite you to submit your polished microfictions to our next NFFD Microfiction Competition.  Our submission window is from 1 December 2021 to 15 February 2022, and you'll be able to find our full submission guidelines here closer to the time.
