| Challenge 307: A GOOD DAY |
Some days, things just go right. The sun is shining, and the temperature’s nice, maybe with a light breeze. If you have to travel, the trip is easy – all green lights if you’re driving, a pleasant walk or ride if you’re not. Everyone you have to talk to is cooperative; even if the day started out rough, it’s getting better by the minute. This time, everything’s going to be okay. How do your characters feel about having a good day? Are they suspicious, thinking it might be too good to be true? Do they just enjoy it? How often do they have good days? Write a story about a good day. If your submission features roses, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |

n. crushing grief, anguish, or distress Sometimes, things don’t work out. The romance doesn’t last, or their plans for the future fall apart. The hero doesn’t get there in time, no matter how hard they try. Sometimes, all the magic or science in the world can’t stop something bad from happening. Not all heartbreaks are permanent! Sometimes it’s still possible to fix things. But often, there’s no way out except to just live through it. Write a story about heartbreak.

| Challenge 305: FIREWORKS |
Bright, sparkling lights, pretty patterns, and incredibly loud noises; who doesn’t love a good round of fireworks to celebrate? (Well, besides the neighbors who still have to work in the morning, anyway…) But fireworks can be more than just a pretty light show. They’re explosives, after all, which makes them dangerous; there’s a lot of ways to repurpose handheld explosives, accidentally or on purpose. In some settings, they’re magical, or a brand-new invention that most people aren’t familiar with yet; but sometimes they’re just that thing everybody gets for New Year’s or other holidays. Do your characters like fireworks? What do they use them for? Write a story about fireworks. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
