One Hundred-Word Wonders is a writing prompt that celebrates the marvel of storytelling in a concise form. Within the realm of micro-fiction, writers have mastered the art of crafting complete narratives in just a few sentences.
These bite-sized pieces should showcase the power of brevity, leaving readers in awe of the vast landscapes painted within a mere hundred words. So, how can a story be effectively told in such a limited space? Let's explore the possibilities together.
These are the last themes in the seven deadly sins series. Choose ONE of today’s themes for your 100-word piece.
Themes today are:
Sloth, Vigor
The word prompt today is:
EMBRACE
Write in exactly 100 words, a story, poem, or creative non-fiction in any genre, choosing ONE theme and using the prompt word or its past tense only once. The 100-word count does not include the title. Please use WordCounter or your writing software to ensure your piece is exactly 100 words.
The theme word does not have to be included in your piece but should reflect it in some way.

A great story, Caro and a wonderful prompt. My mind went to a similar place initially and then I got another idea immediately after 😁
So, really I just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful prompts you give. It’s fair I wouldn’t have written half as many stories if it wasn’t for you. I really appreciate it 🙏
I’m so glad the prompts get those creative juices flowing. 🙂
