Short Story Directory

I have decided to assemble a directory for my short story collection, and to record where appropriate the writing prompt or challenge that was used to generate each story. I hope that everyone can find something here to enjoy.

Bad Earth - January 2019

The challenge is to write a story in a non-fictional format. It can be a news report, a historical essay, a political or religious work (no RW religion or politics, please) or even a biographical work, as long as it has all the trappings of a biography, rather than just an author telling someone's story. BUT, whichever format you choose, it has to exist in-world with the subject.

Where the Herons Fly in Winter - February 2019

Write a story about a love affair that's SERIOUSLY doomed. I'm not talking about anything as simple as feuding families or one partner being locked in an enchanted tower. Think something like living in different universes or time periods, or belonging to species with no point of similarity. Something of that magnitude.
