I spend literally every day with books. Books I’m writing. Books I’m editing for clients. Books I’m prepping to go into audio for clients. And books I want to read for me. That’s a lot of books. But for the purpose of this blog post, we’ll just stick to the best book I’ve read for me. […]
The prompt will be bolded in the story. The PA system crackled as her voice rose, straining for the high notes, and I cringed as she went flat. I still couldn’t believe she’d commandeered the mic.

It’s time for another Promptly Penned post–flash fiction that starts from a word prompt.
