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.]

Sundays in Prison
April 24, 2016 @ 1:45 AM
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.
April 24, 2016 @ 3:01 AM
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 ?

April 24, 2016 @ 9:02 PM
I meant Crown of Stars. Sorry.
April 25, 2016 @ 2:06 AM
Actually, I was intrigued by ‘Tars’. It didn’t sound like a mistake. Perhaps a fantasy book concept?
April 25, 2016 @ 8:35 AM
Crown of Tsars might be another interesting variation.
April 25, 2016 @ 8:57 AM
But a tar king sounds a lot more interesting
