Accepting Submissions: {My Neighbor Got a Peloton} Prompt

I’m sure you don’t need us to tell you—physical exercise is really important. You’ve heard that message loud and clear since your elementary school P.E. teacher had you playing dodgeball and doing the shuttle run. And during this long-ass quarantine, it’s hard to overstate the importance of getting active. It’s good for both your mind AND your body.

But you know what isn’t good for your mind or body? The sound of your neighbor going ape shit on that Peloton every damn day. Droning on and on about how “obsessed” they are with their new Peloton. The incessant noise of the pedaling and the electronic music and the pedal-by-pedal commands. NOT GREAT, I’LL TELL YA.

So, in empathy for some of our plight, I hope you’ll join us in writing for this week’s new prompt.
