Accepting Submissions: {MISCHIEF} Writing Prompt

Each week, we issue a writing prompt to our own staff, guest contributors, and readers like you. We welcome guest submissions, so if you’re interested in being featured or regularly contributing to the site, email your responses to kelaine.conochan [at] thepromptmag.com.

Oooh, who’s that on the front lawn? Just some playful scamps putting toilet paper around our trees. Just some fun-loving whipper-snappers trying to stir the pot. Just some casual, harmless pranks. No big deal.

Over here at The Prompt, we love a little bit of mischief. We love a whoopie cushion. A well-timed psyche-out. A sneaky gotcha moment. And we want to hear your mischievous stories.
