Here’s the challenge this week:<\/p>\n

I want you to take the title of one of the following Stephen King books, and write a short story based on it. The trick is, your story should be\u00a0entirely different<\/em> — you’re divorcing the title from the novel from whence it came, and writing Your Own Damn Thing. (Bonus points if you assume an entirely different genre — not horror at all.)<\/p>\n

Get it? Got it? Good.<\/p>\n

Choose a title randomly (random.org) or just pick.<\/p>\n

1. The Stand<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Mr. Mercedes<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Under the Dome<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. The Shining<\/strong><\/p>\n
