Flicker of Inspiration Prompt #26: The Key
Keys have always been fascinating to me, especially old skeleton keys. I guess it's the possibilities they represent. I always wonder where they will lead? What treasures they will unlock? Whose long forgotten history they will reveal? This week we'd like you to write about a key. It can be a figurative key (the key to one's heart, etc.) or a literal key that your character finds and is compelled to use to unlock something. Take this key in an unexpected direction. Unlock something funny, interesting, mysterious, compelling, or beautiful for your readers. Unlock a story from deep inside your imagination and let the words free. 500 words or less. Don't forget to return here next Sunday to link up your stories about a key.
