#361 Before Summer’s End

Summer’s in full swing here in the UK, with a heatwave keeping many residents (like me) indoors. As I’ve been opening all my windows and sipping iced tea, I’ve been thinking about past summers spent in cooler places, with loved ones who now live thousands of miles away.

This week, let’s write stories that explore nostalgia, heat, and light in all their forms. Whether you pen a somber summer tale or a feel-good story about this season, we want to read it. Pick a prompt below and see where it takes you…
