I have a challenge for all writers!
In this competition, 26 prompts, alphabetically organized, will be given out. You will take the prompt and write a small short story utilizing the word in question.
The overarching theme for this anthology is “Accident”. You can stretch the definition a bit, but broadly, the focus is on potty training accidents (this is an AB/DL site, after all).

The only ask I make of you: WRITE YOUR STORY YOURSELF. DO NOT USE A GENERATIVE AI TO CREATE A STORY.
This is supposed to encourage creativity and brainstorming, and working under constraints. I want to see what sort of stories YOU tell, not a robot.
Oh I forgot to mention: Only one keyword per person, and you should post now to reserve a keyword for later, so there’s no fighting over them. It’s first come first serve!

love this idea, can I reserve Apple as I have a plot in mind

Go ahead!
I… Didn’t even see the story.
Great job with this!
Question: would you all be okay with me participating as well? Or as the organizer/curator, would it be weird?
I am also going to say that given the mild response… if you’re already submitted once, you can reserve another keyword and start making a second story.
In that case I’m going to reserve “Vacation”.
Updated list. Strikethrough = completed, underlined = reserved.
