Hello everyone! *waves*

It’s time for our August monthly challenge! Our apologies for it being slightly late.

1000+ word story about Bad/Happy Memory. This should be a complete story, rather than a part of a larger piece, however, it can be original or fan fiction.

Entries will need to be received by midnight 31 Aug. at GMT -12. We’ll issue a closed post as we do with the weekly prompts.

When you post your entry, please tag it for the challenge.

You do not have to be a regularly contributing member of the community to participate. This challenge is optional and open to everyone.

You are allowed to use the monthly challenge in conjunction with any of the weekly prompts this month as long as you follow all the requirements for both. So, for this month, you would:

Include the weekly prompt in your story
It would be a stand-alone, short story of 1000 words or more told about a bad/happy memory
It would be posted by the earlier of the two deadlines (midnight Saturday, or midnight on the 31st).

Good luck everyone!
