Editor’s note: For this week’s Daily Creativity prompts, we’ve got a special takeover! Molly Torinus, Stone Soup reader and contributor, has written the five prompts we’ll be posting for the week. For today’s, which is the week’s Flash Contest, she will also be co-judge! Write about a day in the life of your pet or a friend’s pet, as if you were that pet.

This is a great exercise in point of view.
