[Weekly Short-Short Note] Topic Announcement! 4/7

This is a project that is loosely accepting short-short stories. If you are new here, I would appreciate it if you could read this first.

Thank you for your submissions this week! It made me feel a little sad thinking that even spiders, which seem like the strong ones of the insect world, might have various inner conflicts! You can read everyone's work in this magazine here!

Now, here is this week's topic.

Drumroll please...
Drumroll...
BANG!!!!!!

Topic: [Dark Roast Entrance Ceremony]

It's the season for the new school year. I'm looking forward to stories that capture the lively expressions of students who have entered school with hope in their hearts!
Or, for those of you who think that graduation is a set with entrance...
Here is the alternative topic!

[Mocha Graduation Ceremony]

Rules & Notes

・Post a short-short story of about 410 characters by late night on April 13, 2024.
・Include the tag #WeeklyShortShortNote.
・Once I confirm submissions other than my own, I will add them to the magazine.
・I won't be deciding on a first-place winner! I may introduce some as a selection!
・I would be happy if you could comment on other people's work! (This is a rip-off of the Shirokuma Literature Club project)
・Instead of a work that just contains the two words "dark roast" and "entrance ceremony," please try to think of a fragrant short-short story based on the topic "Dark Roast Entrance Ceremony"!
Well then, I look forward to your work this week too!
