NFFD 2025 Prompt #5: Open Season

 


  Prompt #5: Open 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 last challenge of 2025, write a flash with an open ending, where you intentionally leave some questions unanswered, the situation ambiguous, or the central conflict unresolved.  You can still aim for an arc, a shift, or some movement through the piece.

We've read a lot of dark stories this year, so we'd love to see some light in the inbox, but we leave the theme up to you.  As always, 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 5: Open 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.

You can claim the badge for this prompt by visiting our badges page.
