Flash!Mob JAN26: A NEW DAWN

The FLASH!MOB prompt for January 2026 is A NEW DAWN

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

What if...

• a wallet has £100 in it... every morning, no matter how much you've spent in the day...
• each day resets at dawn... groundhog day but with which twist?
• the world ends... but the sun still rises in the morning...
• at first light, a gate appears in the old stone wall... but it's only there for a few moments...

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

Deadline: 30th January 2026

Please email stories to: submissions@harveyduckman.com with the subject line DAWN and please check out our submission guidelines so you know what you're letting yourself in for (original work only, fiction or creative non-fiction welcome, no AI, no fee, no royalties, for fun only, minimal admin and correspondence, all proceeds to the Harvey project for future stuff...).

If you want to receive an epub copy of the Flash!Mob book when it comes out, please sign up for the £5/month membership. Otherwise it's only 77p on Amazon.

If I miss out your story, it's probably an oversight... please give me a shout and I'll fix it asap.

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