Prompt Responses

Most of the stories and other bits and pieces in this collection were written in response to a word or phrase given as a prompt at the end of a weekly meeting of the Laois Writers' Group. The purpose of the prompt was to stimulate the creative juices. Members were expected to bring the fruit of their labours in response to the prompt to read to the group the following week. Most pieces are, in consequence, less than 1000 words long. They deal with a wide range of subjects. Some contain strong sexual content. These have been grouped at the end in order to make it easy for sensitive readers to avoid them. They will not show up in any preview.
