Flash Fiction Challenge: The Wheel, Part Two
Last week’s challenge: “Spin The Wheel.” (So many entries!)
The past challenge was rather successful, so — I think we’re going to do it again.
I love these “games of aspects.” Eeeee!
Ahem. Anyway. So! Another set of random parameters for you to choose from, whether by rolling a d10 or using a random number generator like this one right here.
As usual, you’ve got 1000 words. Post it at your online space. Link back here.

So, Chuck. I’m astounded at how many really good stories these folks have written. But do you ever come back? Is there a “winner” each week, or is this just for practice? We’re deep into the next week, and no comment from you on this set….
