Throughout history, people have been losing personal items and finding others, both with a varied mix of emotions. The lost and found section has been piling up ever since.
Lost and Found Day was invented in order to acknowledge the impact that losing and finding our possessions has on our lives.

Remember to use the tag ‘dailywitheli’ so that I can add your story to my word prompt hall of fame. You do not have to attempt all of the prompts. However, if and when inspiration strikes, do follow the muse.
For today’s prompt, we are tackling Flash Fiction. This is a story with no more than 1500 words. Therefore, as always, try your best to stick within the confines of the word count.
Take time to stretch, walk, grab a drink of water, and get back to it. A good mystery book or film would be a great reward for attempting today’s prompts.
All in all, have fun with today’s writing prompts.
Until tomorrow,
