What dies when kindness becomes service — a ten-minute writing prompt

A day you met scripted kindness and the real thing.

What a child is asked afterwards

What dies when kindness becomes service

A day someone was kind to you.

Everyone gets the same subject. What differs is the follow-up: one question for children, two for teens, three for adults. Only the children's wording is simplified.

Where people usually get stuck on this one

When you have too much to say

Pick one. A single idea taken all the way beats ten touched lightly.

When excuses keep creeping in

Cut every “well, but”. The sentence stands up straight without them.

When sentences run long

Cut at the conjunction. Where “and” or “so” appears, a period belongs.

Today's constraints on this prompt

Give one example

'Last Tuesday' always beats 'sometimes'.

Put your point in the first line

Say the conclusion first and the rest sorts itself out.

Use 'because' once

Give a reason once and a claim turns into thinking.
