Prompt #1: Castles in the Air
AIR prompt A

Welcome to The Write-In!  This year, we're celebrating the 2024 National Flash Fiction Day Anthology theme of The Classical Elements - Air, Earth, Water and Fire. Throughout National Flash Fiction Day, we'll be posting one time-related prompt on the hour every hour from 00:00 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, 16 June 2024....

Pick a fairy tale, fable or folk story.  Write a version of it where you change at least one very important element.  Maybe Sleeping Beauty has insomnia.  Maybe it's Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother who eats the Wolf.  Maybe Pinocchio's nose grows but he's actually telling the truth....
