Use the writing prompt below to inspire you.

Your brother has been missing for six years. Every once in a while, you receive a postcard that lets you know he’s still alive. The last postcard arrived almost two years ago from Vermont. You set out to find him so that your mother can have some peace of mind. How do you conduct the search? What do you find?
