Prompt for 19 December 2025
Scoot is taking some time away from providing new prompts, but encouraged his FFF fans to pick and choose from prompts posted throughout the year, listed here. I scrolled around and selected these:
Write about a long day
mysterious certainty
“here it comes”
A character who likes to send postcards
To be honest, I’m not sure how many more of these I can do. I think I did all of them during 2025, so the prompts send my head back to other stories. We shall see how it goes in January.
Lena put down her fountain pen. She loved this pen, a gold Pilot elite with a fine tip that allowed ink to flow smoothly with her inscriptions. It was perfect for postcards, and she always used it for composing short thoughts sent to random people whose addresses she found in an ancient telephone book. She felt a mysterious certainty that her autographic offerings would speak to the recipients in exactly the way they needed. She liked the anonymity of these missives, and the fact that postcards left no room for return addresses made her confident she could continue her mission without interruption for many years.
Collecting her stack of completed cards, Lena walked to the mailbox at the corner of her street and then stood near a tree to wait for the mail carrier’s truck.
“Here it comes,” she thought, “and there they go.” Lena smiled, knowing that the long day ahead was already a good one.
This is a neat one! love how you keep coming up with new stories. I've been slacking off, my brain is starting to hurt. 🤯
