We’re starting off our second week of the Short Story September writing challenge. If you’re just joining in, you’ve got time to catch up! This month’s challenge is to write a short story every day, so if you’re behind consider doing some flash or micro fictions as warmups.

Have you guessed this month’s theme? This week you have an added challenge: make your best guess about the theme and include it in your stories.

For this week’s one word prompts:

Ruin | Decay | Necrotic | Ancient | Mushroom

Happy writing!
