It’s August. Summer’s waning and it feels like it just began. So in the spirit of summer vacation—real or fantasized—this week’s prompt, Good Riddance, is designed to elicit stories you can write in 15 minutes or less. Pick one thing from our past that you are glad to have behind us, and give it its well-deserved send-off.
Or you may want to make a list, like “The Top Five Things I’m Glad My Grandchildren Won’t Have to Deal With.” Provide as much commentary as you like. You can also vote on your choices in this week’s RetroPoll, and make other nominations on our Facebook page or in comments elsewhere on this blog.
Of course, you are welcome to bid a more detailed adieu to your chosen relic, or to write a quick take anytime, whatever the prompt. Your stories are yours to write as you wish.
Have fun writing your quick take.
