Flash!Mob September26: LOST & FOUND

The FLASH!MOB prompt for September 2026 is LOST & FOUND...

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

What if...

• an umbrella found in the lost and found box at the station has a life of its own...
• a magic book goes missing... in the search for it, more than magic is found...
• a figure found wandering in the woods is wearing clothes not of this time...
• a compass goes awry just as the fog closes in...

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

Deadline: 28th September 2026

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