Alright guys and gals. It's time to spice things up!

And I can think of no better way to inspire this incredible community of writers than with a flash fiction writing prompt challenge.

This is the official start of the #steemitwritingprompt tag!

For those of you familiar with Reddit's r/WritingPrompt, you're going to feel right at home. Otherwise, the rules are simple:

1) I will submit a writing prompt in the form of a simple story idea or premise.

2) You all will write stories based on the prompt and submit them as comments on this post.

3) We (the Steemit community) will upvote the best stories and on Steemit that means making money!

I've always found writing prompts to be a fantastic way to improve your writing ability. Even if you never write fiction, it's a great way to challenge yourself and strengthen your creative muscles.

And with the added incentive of Steem Dollars/Power, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There has never been a better time to become a better writer.

I promise to read every single story, so at the very least, you have an audience of one.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Today's Writing Prompt: 

There is a picture of you committing a crime on the morning news. It doesn't make sense. You remember falling asleep last night.
