In honor of spring, The group owner is offering you a choice of three prompts this week. One is serious, one is silly and one could go either way. Which is which will be readily apparent. Your stories should be 100 words or less.
Prompt #2 The Westland Botanical Gardens are open until 8:P.M. in the spring, but residents in the area have been hearing noises and seeing lights in the gardens at very late hours. What's going on there? Prompt #3 Valley residents have welcomed the gentler spring winds but the winter thaw and heavy rains have caused some flooding in fields and left locals wondering if they'll be able to plant on time. A young widow must decide if she will leave the valley for the security of a relative's home in the city or attempt to hang onto the farm with the help of her two adolescent sons. What decision does she make? How does she come to this decision? Post your stories to Genre Shorties
