Innocent Bystander

Narrate a story set in the Prohibition era from the perspective of a child who doesn’t fully understand the situation.

Children often observe more than adults realize, but their understanding of events can be uniquely skewed. How does a child perceive the changes wrought by the Prohibition? Perhaps they’ve noticed unusual activities in their neighborhood or within their own home. This prompt invites exploration of perspective, innocence, and the complexities of adult worldviews filtered through childish curiosity.
