Last week’s challenge: Describing one thing ten ways<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week’s pretty straight forward.<\/p>\n

I’ve got two lists at the bottom. Pick (or randomly choose with dice or a random number generator) one from\u00a0each<\/em> list, then make sure your flash fiction contains each of those things.<\/p>\n

That’s it. Easy-peasy, Ramona-and-Beezy.<\/p>\n

You’ve got an upgraded 1500 words. Due in one week (March 14th). Post it at your online space of choice. Drop a link to your completed story in the comments below. Any genre.<\/p>\n

Now, the lists…<\/p>\n

Must Contain #1<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. A lover’s betrayal.<\/li>\n
  2. A dead body without a face.<\/li>\n
  3. A mysterious — perhaps even magical — photograph.<\/li>\n
  4. An antique gun.<\/li>\n
  5. A terminal illness.<\/li>\n
  6. An ancient tree.<\/li>\n
  7. A time machine.<\/li>\n
  8. A monster.<\/li>\n
  9. A faithful hound.<\/li>\n
  10. A talking cat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Must Contain #2<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. A distant outpost.<\/li>\n
    2. An infernal bargain.<\/li>\n
    3. A pair of detectives.<\/li>\n
    4. A stolen treasure.<\/li>\n
    5. A forgotten manuscript.<\/li>\n
    6. An escaped prisoner.<\/li>\n
    7. A hard drive filled with secrets.<\/li>\n
    8. A plane or train ride.<\/li>\n
    9. A piece of lost technology.<\/li>\n
    10. A comatose patient.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
