Flash!Mob August: ROADS UNTRAVELLED
300 to 1k wobbly words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!

The FLASH!MOB prompt for August 2025 is ROADS UNTRAVELLED
300 to 1k wobbly words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!
What if...
- each night, your day is replayed in your dreams... but with the outcomes of different choices than you actually made?
- your car's satnav starts to plan routes to cover every possible road everywhere, wherever it takes you...
- ...what if you had stopped to investigate that curious object hanging from a tree in the middle of that storm...
- a haunted forest path changes each time you walk through it...
- regrets haunt you... how can you go back to change that once in a lifetime decision that affected everything...?
Any of these or whatever springs to mind... have fun and happy writing.
Deadline: 30th August 2025

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