For a decade, Fifteen Minutes of Fiction had a weekly writing prompt. Some of these are specific to certain times of year, or specific holidays. They are presented here in no particular order; click the "Get Another" link to see another randomly selected prompt.

Slower than Molasses

For the summer months, our writing prompts will be based on common idioms in the English language. "Slower than molasses" (or "slower than molasses in January" or "slower than molasses running uphill") is an idiom that indicates someone is making very slow progress, or should hurry up.

Write a story or poem that illustrates this idiom.
