Welcome to the first episode of Challenge Accepted, where we set ourselves a simple task: write a short story based on a prompt... and then share it with no shame.

This week’s lineup includes:

• The Littlest Cloud — a tale with big feelings in a small sky

• My Pet Rock That Got A Job — yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like

• Albert the Cow and the Day the Farm Lost Its Damn Mind — Chaos. Pure, bovine chaos.

Expect heart, hilarity, and a healthy dose of what-the-hell-is-going-on.
We made ourselves write — now you get to listen.
