Flash!Mob August: ROADS UNTRAVELLED

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

Please email stories to: submissions@harveyduckman.com with the subject line ROAD 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, all proceeds to the Harvey project for future stuff...).

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
