Last week’s challenge: “WTF Is This Thing?<\/strong><\/span><\/a>“<\/em><\/p>\n

This week, simple enough: I’m going to give you twenty different potential conflict prompts to dominate your flash fiction story. Roll a d20 or find a random number generator and boom, you’ve got your conflict. (Or, if you see one you really like, hey, just pick it. ESCHEW CHAOS.)<\/p>\n

You can interpret these prompts as you see fit.<\/p>\n

(Any genre will do.)<\/p>\n

You then write ~1000 words of fiction.<\/p>\n

You post it on your online space. Link back here.<\/p>\n

Due by next Friday, the 20th, noon EST.<\/p>\n

Here, then, is your list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Killed, returned to life to claim vengeance<\/li>\n
  2. Betrayal by a lover<\/li>\n
  3. Monster invasion!<\/li>\n
  4. Lost in a strange place<\/li>\n
  5. Owe money to some very bad people<\/li>\n
  6. The bomb is counting down!<\/li>\n
  7. The apocalypse has arrived<\/li>\n
  8. A threatened home<\/li>\n
  9. A spiteful child<\/li>\n
  10. A crippling disease with a rare cure<\/li>\n
  11. Stolen identity!<\/li>\n
  12. Man becomes monster<\/li>\n
  13. Machines are taking over<\/li>\n
  14. Dark secrets, exposed<\/li>\n
  15. A difficult funeral<\/li>\n
  16. Friend becomes enemy<\/li>\n
  17. A tragedy of one’s own making<\/li>\n
  18. Redemption for past sins<\/li>\n
  19. Nemesis attacks!<\/li>\n
  20. Power corrupts!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
