Prompted Issue #01

The inaugural issue of Prompted features prize-winning stories sparked by diverse, themed prompts. From a mother lovingly mending a special quilt by her dying son's bedside to a tea-brewing detective, a conflicted cardiologist, and a pair of ghosts unbound by time, each tale in this collection, which was guest edited by Dawn Raffel (author of The Strange Case of Dr. Couney and former editor at The Literarian), conjures brand-new worlds in just a few pages.
