Episode 4 – Prompt: An Apology
This episode features four original short pieces — each sparked by the same simple prompt: An Apology.
Some emerged from fresh 4-minute quick-writes; others are polished pieces that happened to align beautifully with this theme. Together, they offer a deeply human blend of honesty, humour, vulnerability, and transformation.
