100 Word Letter Contest with The Glass Post $500 Prize

Do you have something you need to say to someone? Maybe your dog, your best friend, the love of your life, the coffee barista, the grocery store clerk, society, your future self, the tree in your backyard, anyone or anything at all! Write a creative 100 word letter and submit it to us! It can be fun, serious, heartfelt, spooky, poetic, silly, or whatever you’d like it to be.

Here’s a silly example:

Dear Bradly, you lazy-boned brother,

Ever heard of a garbage can? How about a soapy sponge? I think the hot stink puffing around your gaming chair has gotten to your brain. Asking me if I’d clean up the kitchen before Mom’s home, then walking out the door to the newest girlfriend’s muffler on wheels? Ha. HA HA. Listen here Braddifer, I’ll let Mom think you went to bed. I’ll scrub your grubby, Cheeto-printed cereal bowls. Like the good sister I am, the garbage is emptied. Hope you like sleeping with orange peels and sardines.

Thank-yous are still in order.

—Angela
