Submissions open for episode 100–the LAST Word Count Podcast!
R. B. Wood
Humans: Of the FUTURE
This is it, dear friends! The last prompt for the Word Count Podcast’s TEN YEAR RUN.
If I had time to be sad, I would be. But there are so many things going on that I’m looking forward to “what’s next.”
More about that later, but first, the Episode 100 visual prompt:
“Humans of the future is the third of three prompts focused on the most dangerous animal of all–namely, us!
What does the future hold for humanity? The #WordCountIrregulars are now tasked to take us to their interpretation of the future for us hairless apes. Is the future a dystopia? utopia? apocalyptic in nature…or hopeful?
You’ll find out soon enough!
