Shorter days and colder temperatures often mean more time spent indoors writing. This week, we suggest you sit by a window and let the wintery world outside inspire your newest piece of short fiction.
This week's prompts
You go for a walk in fresh snow. Suddenly you realize you're not leaving any footprints.
