That begins a series of Choose Your Own Adventure-style tweets (currently at this point, posted yesterday). I’ve been doing it since before the new year, though some of the early ones didn’t thread, but these do, so you should be able to look through the whole thing on a single web- or app-client.
I want you to go through those, and base some flash fiction off of any part of the completely deranged fantasy thread going on there. You can be faithful to it or stray wildly from it or build on the worldbuilding inanity, whatever you wanna do, do.
That’s it. Go write.
Length: ~1000 words
Due by: June 2nd, Friday, noon EST
Post at your online space.

Enjoy.

Ha, really good. It’s funny where it matters and serious where it needs to.
This was fun! Here’s mine https://sugarandmice.wordpress.com/
I loved every second of this!
I liked the music band and went along with it, and recycled a revolutionary goblin from an old story.

[…] This weeks challenge from Chuck Wendig took a while for me to grasp. The task was simple; check Chuck’s tweets on Twitter (during a thread of Choose Your Own Adventure style posts featuring Fire-Owls, Magic Bands, Wizard Vans and Otter Gods), and… just… well… continue the story from wherever you want.

Your completely deranged fantasy thread has inspired my completely deranged Ocean’s 11 meets goats flash. I was having a lovely week until I started imagining goat versions of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Bernie Mac. I have since sought out medical advice.

Interesting. I was short of time, so just scanned a few bits until something caught my eye. Nothing like trying to revive a dead god in a bar.

Rule of three. This is my third attempt to make a comment stick, so it has to be the odd one out and work, correct? This is my thing that is written. https://advancedneocognitr.wixsite.com/perceptrons/bffs
