Another classic challenge,\u00a0of which I am a fan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Way this works is, below you will find two tables — X and Y! — and you will pick (or randomly draw<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) from those tables. That will leave you with a set of X versus Y — and from there, you will write a piece of flash fiction based on that parameter set. You can even use the match up (SKELETONS VS. SCIENTISTS!) as the title to the work, or come up with a new title.<\/p>\n

Length<\/strong>: ~2000 words<\/p>\n

Due by<\/strong>: 5\/26, Friday, noon EST<\/p>\n
