Tomorrow is Mother’s day. Let’s celebrate awesome moms today with a very special flash fiction tribute.
Tell us a story about your mom or make something up. Your call: you can go all touchy-feely and nostalgic, or tell us the funniest story you can remember about your mother.
Tomorrow, you can go tell her about your surprise tribute on this awesome website! So you might get off the hook without spending any moolah. Probably not, though.
Just keep it at 250 words or less. The 250 word limit will be strictly enforced.
Please keep language and subject matter to a PG-13 level.
Use the comment section below to submit your entry. Entries will be accepted until Tuesday at 5:00 PM Pacific Time.
On Wednesday afternoon, we will open voting to the public with an online poll for the best writing entry accompanying the photo. Voting will be open until 5:00 PM Thursday.
On Friday afternoon, the winner will be recognized as we post the winning entry along with the picture as a feature. Then, at year end, the winners will be featured in an anthology like this one. Best of luck to you all in your writing!
