random writing prompt: trap door
Rubber Ducky Copywriter - Writing Prompt Friday

So I went on vacation for a couple of weeks. Strange mix of magical, empowering, weird and stressful. More so than most vacations. Sometimes you just need to, though, you know? Kinda like writing. I need to put this out there today. Hopefully, it helps you put words to page.

Not all trap doors lead to dark places.

Stay safe, stay healthy.
