Weekly Prompt: Spare Change
Write a story where the number of words equals the amount of spare change you have
“What’s in your wallet?” the commercial asks.
“A bunch of plastic cards and thirty-seven cents,” I answer.
It’s the thirty-seven cents we are interested in this week. Your mission is to dig in your pockets, open your purse, or scour the center console of your SUV and find that spare change. Count it up and write a story with exactly that amount of words. Bonus claps if your story creatively employs that number.
Oh, and remember Centina Pentina only publishes microfiction up to 250 words. That means if you have more than two and half dollars in change, go buy a drink before you write. ; )
Be sure to include one of the following tags with your story:
6wordstory for stories that are exactly six words long
Pentina for stories that are exactly 50 words long
Centina for stories that are exactly 100 words long
OneSentenceStory for stories that are told entirely in one sentence
PostcardFiction for all the rest, stories that are 250 words or fewer
