All the short story entries inspired by prompts and contests, for 2021. (Excluding stuff written in June 2021, as that'll be in 'Rainbow Shorts'. It was a hectic month.) -'Ghilbe & Ruara' (inspired by SaintVal2021 contest, Feb 2021- I missed the deadline). The prompt was (I paraphrase): "You're woken from a magical sleep by a kiss, but the kisser is someone unexpected. What's your story?". As it turns out, I'm posting this on International Women's Day, which seems vaguely appropriate as it's about the important contributions women can make (and how beauty isn't just about appearance). -'The Friends'. (@NARomance's 'Love Is All We Need: Spring Into Love' comp, May 2021 - got an Honourable Mention). The prompt was: "In a quirky new bookshop, you bump into someone familiar - the One Who Got Away."
