This prompt is so delightful. I laughed out loud. I have a title. I just need 96 more words.

So glad you're delighted! We gave you some extra wiggle room, so you have 100 words, *excluding* the title. (And you always have the best titles.) Can't wait, Hal!

:) yes. I understand. My title is also the first 4 words. 100 words seems like it should be so easy, but finding the right angle is not. Cool challenge.

What a great idea! Question: should this be a "complete" piece? Or could it be an extrait of a story that will be long?

Thanks, Anne! For this prompt, the goal is to create a complete piece in exactly 100 words, but it’s totally fine if it hints at a larger world or feels like part of a bigger story. As long as it works as a standalone piece, you’re good to go!

I can’t figure out how to submit my entry, I seem be going round in circles 🙃🤣😁 when I press submit via submittable, it asks me to sign or set up account I’ve done both but can’t figure it out. Hope you can help.
