UBC Day 11: It’ll Cure What Ails You
As I searched for the list of prompts I’ve been using for my April posts, I found a piece of free writing that I did a couple of years ago.

UBC day 6: Epistolary or bust?
I didn’t end up posting last night, so let this make up for it.
Also, trying to write these introductory posts without self-deprecation or negative talk is really hard. I’ll just say that I really struggled with this prompt from the website I’ve been getting these from, but I enjoyed it all the same!

UBC Day 4: Imagine What You Will
In another episode of not reading the prompt clearly, I wrote this and then realized that maybe this wasn’t what was meant. Oh well!
Once again, I grabbed today’s prompt from this website. If you are interested, consider writing to this as well. I set the timer for twenty minutes and did my best.
Content warning for implied torture, imprisonment, and talk of death.
