Flash!Mob Sept25: ALL THAT GLITTERS

The FLASH!MOB prompt for September 2025 is ALL THAT GLITTERS

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

What if...

• a magic scroll turns out to be a recipe for soup...
• a priceless painting isn't just a fake, it's cursed...
• a singer with a beautiful voice who charges extortionate fees is exposed as a charlatan who is using a glamour spell...
• a precious stone in the crown jewels is found to be glass - when was the original stolen and who could have taken it?
• a perfect job opportunity seems too good to be true - what's the catch?

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

Deadline: 30th September 2025

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