Bonus Action -A Special February Flash Challenge

We’ve got a special type of Flash Challenge for you this time! We’ve teamed up with Tim from Bonus Action to create a Flash Challenge with a difference! 

This time we want you to create an item that is unique, wondrous, or magical. We want you to use the item template and you will find a link to the prompt down below.

“It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done.”

― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

By Bonus Action

A denim cat bed, a magical statuette, a unique and mighty sword, a portal door, a long furby body pillow, black toilet paper to match your soul, a deodorant that smells like freshly minted money. What kind of special items exist in your world?

There are a lot of items that you can write about, maybe your characters favorite item that they got from their mother when they became an adult? An item that is used by a culture in your world for a tradition? What makes it wondrous or magical? Why is it unique? Did the person who owns it make it? Was it made by a deity?

RULES

“I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.”

― Thomas A. Edison

I collect items like Elvis Presley clock radios and ’50s memorabilia. It inspires a lot of my imagery. I like tasteful trash.
