Prompt #10: Finders Keepers?
Welcome to The Write-In! This year, we're celebrating the 2026 National Flash Fiction Day Anthology theme of Bridges. Throughout National Flash Fiction Day, we'll be posting one prompt every hours from 00:00 until midnight (BST), for a total of 25 prompts in all. You have until 23:59 BST on Sunday to submit your responses for possible publication here at the Write-In over the course of the next week.
*
To start us off, write a flash in which a character finds something unexpected. Make it a physical object, not a person, an emotion, or a memory. Where is the person? Where was the object before it was discovered? What does the person do with what they find?
To make this prompt extra challenging, the following are not allowed: the object cannot be a letter, a key, a photograph, a ring, or a body. Optional bonus points if you make us smile.
