You’ve spent hours and hours boxing up memories, throwing out the things you once thought you’d want to keep, and finding dustballs and invaluable trinkets you thought you’d lost forever. You’ve been packing for too long or not long enough—somehow it’s always both—but now it’s time to go.

To turn in your keys from one place and get keys to another, newer place that you’ll soon call home. You’re filled with stress and excitement. It’s all so much. Too much. But this is the big day. Hop in the truck. It’s moving day.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: MOVING DAY

This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using MOVING DAY as our prompt.
