July 8th, 2026 - Scribble With Inklings Wednesdays!

Welcome back to Scribble With Inklings Wednesday! July's birthstone is the ruby, so let's incorporate that into this week's writing prompt. Your character happens upon a beautiful ruby ring in the most unlikely of places. Anyone would pick it up, right? It's not like something as beautiful as this could be a monkey's paw. Right?

This week's prompt:

Write a poem or story that includes the above Scene.

Optional Creative Challenge: Maybe this ring is a treasured heirloom. Maybe it's magic...

or maybe it's the very thing any soul with sense knows better than to take.

Time for your creative crunch. Don't forget to comment below what you wrote!
