A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section Click here to hear the author read his words:
Keepsake
I don’t like foreigners, I holiday in England.
Hmm.
Bognor, good enough for King George V, good enough for me.
You ever visited Scotland?
God no, full of red-haired, blue-faced, unintelligible, kilted savages! You want a keepsake, they sell you haggis.
Really?
Oh yes. Where are you from?
Glasgow.
As an Englishman living just along the Sussex coast from Bognor with a daughter and family residing near Glasgow, this tickled my funny-bone!
My Keepsake!

Haha! Had a good laugh at this, even though (not being in/from the UK) I don’t think I get 100% of the nuances!

Yes, it probably loses something if you are neither a Scot nor a Sassenach!
This may help with the Bognor reference:

Hahaha, that DID help with that line. I’m slowly learning new British place names – and, hey, I’d recently learned about Brighton before reading this, so that went together well!

Dear C.E.
This prompt is habit forming, isn’t it? Awkward moment, that. 😉 Haggis? No thanks.
Shalom,

I have to tell you, m’lady, that the Haggis is a fascinating creature and a great delicacy in Scotland, as exalted in the work of Oor Rabbie.
