Accepting Submissions: {WHO’S AT THE DOOR?} Writing Prompt

Each week, we issue a writing prompt to our own staff, guest contributors, and readers like you. We welcome guest submissions, so if you’re interested in being featured or regularly contributing to the site, email your responses to kelaine.conochan [at] thepromptmag.com.

You hear a knock, but you’re inside. Is it a food delivery? A package delivery? A friend “stopping by” or an evangelist/salesperson/murderer?

A door separates you from the mystery, and you won’t know until you look through the peephole, ask the question, or open it up. If that’s not a great catalyst for a story, I don’t know what is.
