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.

A title.

Sundays in Prison
Don’t dare ask me how I know this, but in prison, one day is pretty much like the next. Unless, that is, you’re planning an escape.
Unless you’re in a prison in El Salvador, run by the MS-13 gang, no guards around, you’ve been locked up for reasons no once can explain to you, and today, Sunday 24 April, you will escape… dum dum duuuuuuum! 🙂
Does that scenario apply just today or on ANY GIVEN SUNDAY ?

Crown of Tars
I meant Crown of Stars. Sorry.
Actually, I was intrigued by ‘Tars’. It didn’t sound like a mistake. Perhaps a fantasy book concept?
Crown of Tsars might be another interesting variation.
But a tar king sounds a lot more interesting
