NFFD 2022 Prompt #0: Short and Sweet


 Short and Sweet

Welcome to the first of this year's Write-In prompts!  Throughout National Flash Fiction Day, we'll be posting one prompt on the hour every hour from now until midnight (BST), for a total of 25 prompts in all.  You have until midnight on Sunday (BST) to submit your responses for possible publication here at the Write-In.  We'll start posting responses on Sunday, 19 June 2022.

This is National Flash Fiction Day's eleventh anniversary, so this year, all our prompts have something to do with the number 11....

*

Without further ado, here is the first challenge:

Write a flash of exactly eleven words. 

No title is necessary, but if you have one, it does count toward the eleven-word total.  Hyphenated words count as one word (so 'self-imposed' counts as one word and 'short-term plans' counts as two words).

Your flash needs to be short, but despite the title, it need not be sweet!

*

If you’re submitting this to us, make sure to note that this is a response to Prompt 0: Short and Sweet.

You can submit responses until 23:59 BST on Sunday, 19 June 2022 for a chance to be published here at The Write-In.
