NFFD 2022 Prompt #17: Freedom

Freedom

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

*

The theme for this year's National Flash Fiction Day Anthology is 'freedom'.  As editors Karen Jones and Christopher Drew put it:

Flash fiction offers the writer a freedom not often seen in traditional, longer form fiction.  Freedom with language, with structure, with character and point of view.  Freedom to experiment and to arrange thoughts on the page in new and surprising ways.

For this next prompt, we invite you embrace this freedom and sense of exploration....  Write a flash about a very unusual freedom.

And, of course, if you don't yet have a copy of this year's anthology, you can find it at the National Flash Fiction Day Bookshop.
