Prompt #106 – Keeping in Touch
September 13, 2012
I have a thing about losing people. That is, when I lose touch with someone I value I get a rash, have nightmares, and generally feel out of sorts. Think about those people you’ve lost over the years and write a letter to one or more of them. It doesn’t matter what you say, and you may not even send the note to the person. Then again, you just might.

Okay, so I’ve been a little lax with the prompts. The prompts are inevitably the result of my current writing. When I finish a piece these days I post a prompt that is related in some way. So, for each of these prompts there is a story in the background. Eventually, I’ll post all my stories, poems, and such along with the prompts. I’d also love to post your stories, so send them in.
