Flash!Mob July26: A STITCH IN TIME

The FLASH!MOB prompt for July 2026 is A STITCH IN TIME

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

What if...

• a tear in the space-time continuum is causing chaos... only one person can come to the rescue...
• you join a sewing circle in the village and suspect that there's more to the community quilt than meets the eye...
• when exploring an old mine, you find a cavern with a wooden table... on which rests a bobbin of thread and a single needle, and an hour glass...

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

Deadline: 28th July 2026

Please email stories to: submissions@harveyduckman.com with the subject line STITCH 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 £1.77 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
