100 Word Wednesday

Write something that moves us, and tell an entire story with only 100 words. Most importantly, share a story that begs to be read and reread!

We nominate for awards, including Best of The Net. All submissions are considered for publication online and in our print mag.

Alternatively, we also have a New Submission Form for 100 Word Stories. With this in mind, submit only one story per month via the form. However, we encourage you to participate weekly on our blog in addition to one monthly submission.

On the first Wednesday of each month, we publish 2 selected 100 Word Stories (1 from submissions and 1 entry from the 100 Word Wednesday weekly prompts on the blog.)

Read other entries and comment on others. Lastly, this is a positive forum for feedback!

  1. Her Hand

    He wanted to take her hand, but the recent flare of a manually-transmitted virus, which was extremely virulent, made such a move far too risky. His DX-1 protective gloves, the best available, lined with copper fibers and imported at some cost from Korea, were only 92.3% effective against the current variant.

    She wanted to kiss him, but her recent experience with the saliva-transmitted strain left her unwilling to take the chance. She had been bedridden for a month, too high a price to pay for a romantic moment.

    One consolation: As the population dwindled, there were fewer sources of contagion.
