Okay, last week I said, “come up with an opening line.”
The week before that I said, “come up with a last line.”
Now, I want a title.
Then we will mash up all three challenges into one proper short story.
For now, drop down into the comments, and I want:
One five-word title.
Just one.
Not three words.
Not six words.
Five words.
Due by Friday, September 1st, noon EST.
Go.
