Red Writing Hood

This week's prompt asks you to stretch your creative muscles.

We're talking fiction here. Unless this really happened to you. In which case that is AWESOME!

Before you all go scurrying away at the "F" word, let me just say 1) it's not that scary and 2) the point of this group is to encourage you to try new things.

If you have any questions or need someone to hold your hand and tell you you can do it, feel free to @mommy_pants me on twitter. Or leave me a note in the comments.

We're even going to give you a choice of two prompts so you can see which one moves you. Both are from Writer's Digest.

"In the middle of the night, you get an urgent call from a friend you haven’t talked to in years. Something terrible has happened. What is it and why is he/she calling you?"

OR

"One week after attending the funeral of a close friend, you receive a postcard in the mail with the words, 'I'm not dead. Meet me tonight at Guido's Pizzeria. Tell no one.' "

Have FUN with this! Word limit is 700. Come back this Friday to link up!
