Last week’s “I’ve Chosen Your Words” challenge was a tricky one, but some admirable tales came out of that one. You will go and check it out, won’t you? Good.
This week, I talked a bit about creativity and said that it was the fire we stole from the gods.
And I thought, “Hmm. Fire.”
Fire.
FIRE.
Excellent.
Last week I gave you words, this week, I give you a title:
Your story will be titled: “The Fire of the Gods.”
And that’s it. That’s all I demand of you.
Well, besides the standard parameters, of course. The story must be under 1000 words. Post it at your blog (not in the comments here, or I may delete it), then link back so we can all see it.
You’ve got the traditional week. Get the stories in by Friday, March 23rd, noon EST.
Now write, won’t you?

The novel I’m shopping has so much that would fit this bill. I’m a pyro and a mythology geek and wrote several versions of tricksters stealing fire. NOW you have this. LOL Alright, back to the smithy with me.

Missed last week’s challenge, so I figured what the hell, I’d use ten of those twenty words in a story called The Fire of the Gods.

I’ve missed the last two challenges because of deadlines and slow processing. Will try hard for this one.

This inspired a poem, actually, not a story. But since it’s based on a story, I’ll link back to it tomorrow.

Fifty-three generations after the Great Exodus, the gods have returned… but they are not quite as expected.

I did submit this earlier today, but now it doesn’t seem to be here. Have I breached a guideline?
Anyway, my story is here: http://narratorium.com/?p=403 and it’s titled — wait for it — The Fire of the Gods.

“The Fire of the Gods” is kind of an ominous name for an orbital weapons platform.
