Deadline: October 31, 2022
SUBMISSION FORM
The prompt for the month of October 2022 is: A Thanksgiving situation. A fight over food that masks strongly held political differences. For example, here in Hawai‘i, one person brings Zippy’s Chili with meat and another brings Zippy’s Chili without meat, and the ensuing argument masks a fight over whether or not the Honolulu Rail is a good thing.
