Creative Nonfiction Prompt #64

Source

Important notes:

• Creative nonfiction stories are based on your real-life experiences.
• We are looking for real short stories! Not advice columns, reports on crime or corruption in your city, observations on nature, recipes, religion, politics, or any other nonfiction content. Just real-life short stories.
• Ideal story length is between 750 and 1500 words, but your story must be at least 350 words, at a minimum to be curated.
• Please focus on quality content. Read and edit for errors! Use a grammar checker before you post your story.
• We expect everyone who posts in The Ink Well to read and comment on at least two other stories for each one published.
• Do not post stories featuring physical abuse, graphic violence, erotica or NSFW content.
