Our prompt this month comes from Mslexia’s new writing prompts Instagram:
Write a piece in which a parrot relays some information to the worst person possible. Who has the parrot heard this from, and why did they want to keep it a secret? What are the consequences for the secret-keeper – and for the person who hears it second-hand? Does this lead to a confrontation between the two? Or is the aftermath more psychological?
