[Last week's prompt](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-fiction-prompt-109-plus-weekly-challenge-and-prize-announcement) was: "What if that loose floorboard was actually a hidden passageway?" and the skill challenge was "creating a story hook." ### Stories From the Previous Week Thank you to everyone who posted a story for last week's prompt! - @cool08 - @madamnaomi - @timix648 - @universoperdido - @mrenglish - @dianelson - @katleya - @gabrieladifazio - @jhymi - @jadams2k18 - @littlepiggies - @iskawrites - @popurri - @abigail04 - @kemmyb - @lenaspiritual - @yuki-nee - @lrscarmen - @wrestlingdesires - @radenkusumo666 - @rammargarita - @balikis95 - @george-dee - @seki1 - @innfauno12 - @idlemind - @rinconpoetico7 - @chuksmeezy - @kingsleyy - @itsostylish **Honorable Mentions** Our honorable mentions of the week are: - @yuki-nee: [*Hidden Passageway: An Unexpected Discovery*]( https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@yuki-nee/hidden-passageway-an-unexpected-discovery-fiction) - @kemmyb: [*The Formal Dining Room*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@kemmyb/the-formal-dining-room-fiction) - @jadams2k18 : [*Mixed Feelings*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@jadams2k18/mixed-feelings-sentimientos-encontrados-the) - @idlemind: [*Confession*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@idlemind/confession) - @jhymi: [*Where the Lost Things Go*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@jhymi/where-the-lost-things-go) - @dianelson: [*Welcome to Lemoria*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@dianelson/welcome-to-lemoria) **Third Place: Wins 2 Hive** - @wrestlingdesires, with his story, [*The Legend of Witherston Castle*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@wrestlingdesires/the-legend-of-witherston-castle) > "Is there really a hidden treasure map in Witherston Castle, Jim?" > "Yes Mona, and a ghost protects it. If anyone finds it, the ghost hides it again before it can be memorized. At least that's what the brochure says." > Mona scrunched up her tiny nose. "Whose ghost is it? And that's assuming I believe it's real, and not just something they made up to get more tourists to book a room." **Second Place: Wins 3 Hive** - @universoperdido, with his story [*Cemetery Guard*](*https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@universoperdido/cemetery-guard*) > Günther approached first and stretched out his arm toward the beautiful gem. Suddenly, a grotesque, bony hand with long, gnarled fingers emanated from the diamond and grabbed Günther by the arm and began to pull him toward the crystal. The beautiful diamond slowly began to lose its luster. Günther was just screaming desperately trying to free himself. I reacted and helped the boy, managing to free him from the trap. We ran to the stairs, climbed quickly until we were finally outside. **First Place: Wins 5 Hive** - @littlepiggies with her story [*The Writing Room*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@littlepiggies/the-writing-room-ink-well) > I held the rough draft manuscript in my hands as I continued to look around the room. An antique wooden clock, displaying the wrong time, sat on the small shelf. Next to it an old brass key tray, filled with receipts and loose change; nothing interesting. I heard light scraping against the wall, as though wind was blowing branches. But it’s not windy today? I looked the wall where the sound was coming from and realized it wasn’t a wall; it was a door that looked like a wall. It was a wall with a tiny slot where you could push up a button and unlatch the door to slide it open. Congratulations to @littlepiggies, @universoperdido, and @wrestlingdesires! Okay, let's launch the new prompt! ## This Week’s Prompt *The Ink Well is fortunate to have many members who are rising talents! We would like everyone to think of these weekly prizes as a showcase of just a few of the very best stories, as well as an opportunity for our members to be inspired by reading some polished stories that demonstrate excellent storytelling skills.* **Please Note**: We try to curate as many stories as possible, but do not curate every story published in The Ink Well, due to the volume of posts. **Prompt of the week!** This week's prompt is "**footsteps**." Our skill challenge is ***avoid the info dump***. An "info dump" is a lot of narrative information at the beginning of the story. It is tempting for writers to provide background information and summary information, but what readers *really want* is dialogue and action. To learn about these fiction concepts, be sure to have a look at the article about [avoiding the info dump](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/writing-tip-of-the-week-3-avoiding-the-dreaded-info-dump), and the article [Action, Dialogue and Narrative: The Dynamic Trio](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/writing-tip-of-the-week-26-action-dialog-and-narrative-the-dynamic-trio) in our [Catalog of Fiction Writing Tips](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/catalog-of-fiction-writing-tips-from-the-ink-well). What to do with this prompt? There are many possibilities. Footsteps can be creepy and disturbing, if it's something your character hears in the night. But you could also think about the meaning of the expression about *following in someone's footsteps*, such as a child doing the same job or working in the same company as one of her parents. You could also use another interpretation and write about *footprints*. Perhaps they will help to solve a mystery! Have fun! A week from now, we will select winning stories that demonstrate the skills and utilize the prompt. Of course, we will also be looking for overall quality in the winning stories. Good luck! *Be sure to read the contest rules below.* **Note**: As always, please avoid violent, gory, bloody, brutal, sexist or racist themes and language, erotica and other NSFW (not safe for work) content, stories with a political or religious agenda, and stories featuring abuse of any kind. (We have a complete article about [The Ink Well stance on violence and brutality](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/violence-and-brutality-in-fiction-the-ink-wells-stance) for more information.) If you don't feel inspired by this prompt or the featured image, feel free to peruse any of our past prompts or our collection of idea-generators: - [50 Loglines](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-writing-prompts-50-story-loglines) - [50 Story Ideas](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-fiction-prompt-6-50-story-ideas) - [50 Imagination Ticklers](https://peakd.com/fiction/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-prompt-13-50-imagination-ticklers) ## Weekly Prompt Rules: 1. **Deadline**: NEW: You have SIX DAYS to write for the prompt. We are now adding countdown timers to our contest posts so the contest ends one day before the new one is posted. This will give us more time to read all contest stories. 2. **Story link**: Post your story in [The Ink Well](https://peakd.com/c/hive-170798/created) community, and post a link to your story in a comment on this post. 1. **Hashtags**: Please use these hashtags: #fiction #writing #inkwellprompt #theinkwell and #dreemport, if you are also posting your story to the DreemPort site. 3. ***COMMUNITY SUPPORT***: Visit the work of at least two other community members and comment on their work. 4. **Title**: The title is up to you. You can come up with any title you wish. You do not need to name it after the prompt or include the prompt word(s). 5. **Images**: Please only use images from license free and creative commons sites, like [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/), [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/) and [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/). Images you find on the Internet are copyright protected and cannot be used. Be sure to provide all image source links. 6. **Length**: We request that story word counts are a maximum of 1,500 words in length (preferably 750-1000 words). This is *just a guideline*. Longer stories are okay too, but they tend to get fewer readers. Additionally, The Ink Well admins appreciate keeping to that maximum story length for our time management. Thank you! **Reminder**: Be sure to *also* read our community rules. The reason for the repeat reminder is that we see many stories describing brutality of women, children, or animals, or that have excessive gore or violence, and we must mute them. Please do *not* post these stories in The Ink Well. We want our community to be a safe and comfortable place for all readers.
