100 Word
Microfiction Challenge
The Microfiction Challenge was a great success that offered a multi-level experience filled with simple joy. From the anticipation of receiving the prompts to the process of crafting a story with no more than 100 words, participants found delight in the challenge of creating a narrative under such constraints.
The satisfaction of submitting a piece and seeing it displayed on the wall at the Arts Centre added to the excitement. Out of nearly 50 requests, we received 36 stories. For those who could attend, we hope that the joy of reading your story aloud was as wonderful to experience as it was to hear!
