A Writer... Blocked 
Note: I am considering this as my entry into a 53-word microprose writing challenge. I’ve dabbled in flash fiction in the middle school classroom, but such short pieces as this are new but incredibly fun and feel a bit like writing puzzles of sorts. The prompt for this, by the way, was “something short.”
