I told myself that I don't have time to write a prompt story this week but I read your prompt and I eventually got an idea that wouldn't leave me alone. "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"(Michael Corleone) Anyway here's my story.https://samioneal.substack.com/p/jack?r=5hi5iz

Haha, I do love it when inspiration strikes and it won't let go. Love the Godfather reference as well, haha.

Just saved the link, looking forward to reading it!

Thanks for joining in on this week’s prompt, Gareth! I’m adding your story to this week’s Power up Prompts shout out segment as well in the podcast. Excited to give it a read!

I only got up to level 2 this first time😔it was really fun though, because i like mystery but I'm not used to limited word counts, so it was a challenge (in a good way). Thanks for making these prompts! Anyways, I'm not sure if I'm late, but there's my story: https://open.substack.com/pub/quankl/p/il-lupo-and-the-lift?r=5tjggu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Awesome! Level 2 is great, I’ve actually been waiting to see someone try their hand at a level 1 or 2 story, so I’m excited to check this one out!

I’ll also add it to the Power up Prompts section of the podcast tomorrow as well. 😁

I didn't see a thread in your chat for this week so here's mine!

It's got everything: psychological horror, a race against time, and an inspector that learns a very important lesson within the walls of an elevator.

Awesome, thank you for the link, Mina! I think I forgot to add that thread to the chat this week, so this is perfect. I'll blame it on the jet lag since that was the day I got back from my trip. 😅

Oooh this gives me an intriguing idea, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a character actually look at mystery from the outside rather than just be inside the events that would later baffle detectives who enjoy reality
