Lions and tigers and polar bears, OH MY! It seems like everything we care about is endangered these days: Students’ lives. Pandas. Common sense. Democracy. Heck, even things we don’t care about, like malls and four hour baseball games, are endangered. It’s a super long list. A daunting list. A list that makes you simultaneously t-t-t-terrified for the planet and th-th-th-thrilled to be lucky enough to exist.
And we’re using that offsetting momentum to bring us to our motivation this week. It’s time to put pen to paper, unless the creative act of writing is also endangered, thanks to artificial intelligence.
This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using ENDANGERED SPECIES as our prompt.
If you’ve got an inspired ideas about how to respond to this week’s prompt, send us your submission of 400-700 words. Write us anything that comes to mind when you think of ENDANGERED SPECIES. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh. Ironic or sincere, real or imagined—just make it worth our while and we’ll publish it, include it in our newsletter, and give you the chance to join the creative, talented staff writers here at The Prompt.
