Writing prompts II

These prompt-based pieces were an exercise in tone, style, and audience, constrained to a meager word count of 150.

Here are samples of my personal favourites. Cheers.

What if you took a leap?

What does it mean to be a runner?

What is the person sitting across from you at the coffee shop thinking?
