I know, I know. In however many years, InMon has never been postponed except for during Voice Week and that one time I forgot to hit “publish.” But I’ve had a doozy of a week (month, really), and it looks like I’m about to have another – which means you all have another week to play with last week’s prompts!
Don’t worry, everything’s fine (kinda great, actually) – just been crazy.
Thanks, y’all.

This week in InMon City: Studies show that four out of five InMonsters will pick the darkest prompt. What the Dickens? Maybe I should throw a cuddly one in there this week and see what happens.
Research suggests that if you mow your neighbor’s lawn out of the goodness of your heart and she makes you fudge out of gratitude, you should answer your door when she comes knocking on it. Seriously. There is fudge on the other side of the door. Why yu no open it?
And now for our top stories.

Our newest InMonster wrote a gorgeous piece and doesn’t even have a place for us to leave admiring, jealous comments. Hopefully next week the mysterious ToWanderLost will allow us to express our appreciation for his/her skillful blend of gritty details and poetic imagery.
In the meantime, we read and sigh.
