Welcome to the prompt exchange for this week! If you signed up, you should have (finally) received your prompt via email.

If you didn’t receive an email, please check your spam folder. If you still can’t find it, please send us an email at editors@scriptic.org and we will check it out.

There aren’t many rules. Write something that responds to the prompt. Include the footer; the information for that is in the email, too. If you are on Twitter, please tweet your response and make sure to give credit to the person who gave you the prompt. Once you are done, post a link in the comments here so we can read your work and include it in the weekly roundup. If your response to a prompt completely blows us away, we may ask you to submit a piece to Scriptic for publishing.

The deadline is Thursday, February 21, at midnight Eastern time.
