NFFD 2025 Prompt #2: Hunting Season

 

  Prompt #2: Hunting Season

Welcome to The Write-In!  This year, we're celebrating the 2025 National Flash Fiction Day Anthology theme of Seasons. Throughout National Flash Fiction Day, we'll be posting one prompt every six hours from 00:00 until midnight (BST), for a total of 5 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 Tuesday, 17 June 2025....

For the second challenge of 2025, write a story in which a character is searching for something specific, and unusual.  Make it a physical object.  What are they looking for?  Why do they want it?  Do they find it?    

To make this prompt extra challenging, avoid having your characters look for: evidence, love, a person, an emotional state (happiness, recognition, etc.), something people commonly lose track of (keys, wallet, umbrella), animal hunting.  Optional bonus points are available if you make us laugh or smile.

If you’re submitting this to us, make sure to note that this is a response to Prompt 2: Hunting Season.

You can submit responses until 23:59 BST on Sunday, 15 June 2025 for a chance to be published here at The Write-In.
