Hey. Umm.

I know the world is already scary enough right now. But, uh, I’m a little alarmed because, well, just look over there. It looks murky and dangerous. And, uh, I don’t want to be alarmist, but, uh…

Does that look like quicksand to you?

Oh man. It is. It definitely is, isn’t it? Well, while fighting for my very last breath before getting pulled under, I might as well call for submissions to The Prompt.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: “Does that look like quicksand to you?”
