10-Word Stories — Valentine’s Day
Shereen Bingham’s Micro-Story/Poem Challenge
There are a number of popular prompts and challenges being issued all the time on Medium (particularly during specific holidays and events), and they are a good way of sharing each other’s work and getting to know our fellow Medium writers.
10-word or micro-story challenges are just one of these that seem to be proving very popular. This particular one for Valentine’s Day was issued by Shereen Bingham and I was later tagged by Carolyn Hastings.
The following micro-stories, and poems, are my response.
