by Fiction Friday – A Letter
Friday 11th July 2014 – A Letter.
Fiction Friday is our weekly prompt. The aim is to write for a minimum of five minutes and then keep going for as long as you can. Once you’ve finished, don’t edit, just post in the comments box below.
Today’s prompt:
You find a letter. It could be from anyone – from an old friend, from a younger self. It could be a letter written to your grandmother years before. It’s up to you. Make your piece up to 500 words if you can. In it, there must be some kind of revelation or secret revealed.
