Day 21! https://xenocandela.wordpress.com/2021/05/21/the-lilies-are-bloomed/
WISH GRANTED is a story about a boy who steals bread from the kitchen to feed the tiny mermaid trapped in the pond at the park near his house.
I enjoyed this one.

We enjoyed the prompt and always like ideas that let us explore outside of the box.
In my novel, my protagonist is looking at the reflection seen in the pond. Suddenly there are two reflections and they have a conversation. My protagonist witnesses it but cannot take part. This is very unsettling and yet illuminating. It really will drive my novel on at a ‘sticky’ point. Thank you so much 😊
Thank C! Loved this prompt
I combined my reflection of day 20 and 21 in the same post.
No less enthusiasm for the prompts just time!

The fatigue is setting in of intentionally writing a story a day. I write every day but there is a different set of expectations for myself in May.
