Voice Week is just over a month away! I picked up this year’s prize yesterday – H.G. Wells, The Collector’s Book of Science Fiction, including The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon (in which you’ll see much inspiration for C.S. Lewis’s Out of the Silent Planet) and a bunch of other things I’ve never heard of – as they first appeared in original turn-of-the-century magazines! I’ll post photos soon. One randomly-selected voice writer will win it. Sign up in the comments if you haven’t already!
And read some quite compelling work:

The Rules
There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.
OR
No really; I need rules!
Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.
The Prompts:
Footprints on the moon**
Heart murmur
Wait for the siren***
Paper key
Pain is my alarm clock****
