Flash!Mob November26: SIGN OF THE TIMES

The FLASH!MOB prompt for November 2026 is SIGN OF THE TIMES...

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

What if...

• the sign at the bus stop suddenly glitches and resets to say that the next bus is the 'last' bus... ever
• you decide to look for 'glimmers' instead of triggers and you are surprised by what you see...
• a chalk sigil appears on your front door... every morning, no matter how many times you scrub it off...

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

Deadline: 30th November 2026

Please email stories to: submissions@harveyduckman.com with the subject line SIGN 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...).

A note on naming Word files: if you could please name your Word document in the following format - LOOK title of story YOUR NAME.docx - that would be much appreciated!

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
