Flash Fiction Challenge: We Need Only A Title
Your task this week is woefully simple. Go to the comments, and deposit into these comments a title for a short story — not the story itself, and nothing in fact beyond the title.
Then, next week, I’ll pick a handful of the best, and we’ll use those as springboards for the next round of stories. Dig it? Good.
You.
Comments section.
A title.
GO.
Due by next Friday, April 29th, noon EST.
[EDIT: Only ONE title per person, please.]
