Flash!Mob Feb26: SPILL THE BEANS

The FLASH!MOB prompt for February 2026 is SPILL THE BEANS

300 to 1k wobbly words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!

What if...

• a secret is told that was never meant to see the light of day...
• the beans spilled onto the stone floor and the sound of the cracks as they started to dig deep drowned out the thunder overhead...
• the jar came with clear instructions: 'Do Not Open after Midnight'...
• once the beans were spilled, the vampires could cross the threshold...
• the giants were waiting... someone, somewhere was going to spill the beans...

Any of these or whatever springs to mind... have fun and happy writing.

Deadline: 27th February 2026

A note on wobbly word counts: 300 words is just a rough guide... anything up to 1k words or so is fine xx
