Welcome to Our Eighteenth Monthly Flash Fiction Prompt

Deadline: 30 June 2026

So, this week I’ve been watching a few behind-the-scenes featurettes on the upcoming season of Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat series, as I’m an avid fan of her books and any of the previous adaptations of her work. From what I hear, the new season will be focused on music alongside continuing the vampire chronicles. Adapted from Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, Lestat becomes a modern, larger-than-life vampire rockstar.

Here’s an image that inspired me. Hopefully, it inspires you too.

Happy writing!

All genres welcome. We also have another one of our written prompts below.

June Photo Prompt:

In 150 words or less, write a story inspired by this month’s image above.

June Written Prompt:

In 150 words or less, write a story about a decision that can’t be undone.

Please remember that for Photo Prompts, you don’t need to include an image as we will use the one provided above before publishing. For Written Prompts, however, please include an image with your story and credit the source.

Before submitting your flash fiction pieces to us please remember to proofread your work. I’d recommend using a free grammar checker like GrammarCheck or Hemingway Editor.

Quick Reminder:

1. Choose a prompt (or both).

2. Write your story in 150 words or less. Include a Title and Subtitle.

3. Add the prompt link for this month and relevant tags, which are ‘Flash Fiction Prompts’ and ‘Story Lamp Reviews’.

4. Proofread your story.

5. Submit your draft to Story Lamp Reviews using the three dots next to the notification bell and click, add to publication.

I’m really looking forward to reading all of your stories for the month of June. And please remember to check your word count before submitting.

Tagging as many of you as we can!
