In this post, we'll announce the winners from last month's contest and provide the prompt for the coming week.
We ask that you read our Creative Nonfiction Tips post to learn about the creative nonfiction genre and review our guidelines.
Important notes:
Thank you to all who participated in last week's prompt : Pull up your socks.
Highlighting @nancybriti1, with the story:

I remember my dad saying that a kind word opens many doors, so I don't know how many kind words I said that early in the morning, when the medical team arrived at the hospital, my sister and I were at the front of the line.
Curator's comment :
Nancybriti's story is a gripping narrative about an emergency operation her sister needed. Medical resources are so scarce at the hospital that people have to bring their own surgical supplies. This is a harrowing tale, told with sharp memory of a dangerous afternoon. The story is told with attention to the moment, which we share, as though it is happening as we read.
Use the prompt figurative or literally to showcase a story drawn from your life.
Tell us about it! And remember to integrate storytelling elements like characters, scene setting, dialogue and action to bring your story to life!
Have fun and good luck! We look forward to reading your stories.
And be sure to remember to join The Ink Well community!
A prize of 20 Hive will be awarded to one submission every four weeks.
Two or three stories will be featured every week. One of the featured stories will win the grand prize every four weeks.
The winner will be featured in a special announcement post.
