Congrats to you all for triumphing over this weekend and whatever circumstances it threw at you. Nothing about this contest is easy, and you kicked ass if you sat down and gave it your all.

Feel free to share titles and synopses, but don't post your story until you get the email from NYC Midnight (should be Wednesdayish)

Group 22.  Fairy tale / foster home / a spice rack


Hush

In a world buried under a blanket of silence, an abandoned baby’s cry rings out as she’s left on Mama Jacinta’s doorstep. The emerald-eyed, honey-skinned child will grow at Jacinta’s side, bringing magic, color… and something more to the land where hush rules all.

Crime Caper/ Poolroom / Couch

Nearly accidentally deleted my couch when cutting words, which is rough as I usually make the object more important lol and didn't care much for this prompt -- but somehow got it done! Not a fan of my hasty synopsis either, but c'est la vie. 

Get a Cue

Plans A and B, to swap the famed and framed 5k bill from behind the bar of the legendary Get a Cue poolroom and auction it off, seem simple enough, but when both fall through, will a risky Plan C succeed? Or should we have known better than to hustle a hustler?

My prompts were Spy/Police Station/ Fire Hydrant.


For the King


Frank’s been embedded as a mafia mole in the police department for years.  When Tony King, the leader of the Bronzeville Bangers, gets arrested, it’s up to Frank to take drastic action to retrieve the evidence before it can be used to put The King away forever.

Not my fav genre, but I submitted.

FOOL’S GOLD

Group 50 - Drama / a pond / a sewing machine



Reflections

As the sun sets, Dolores is trying to muster all her strength to give her daughter one last bit of motherly advice.



So, side note.  I just saw that my tagline name is spelled differently than the name in the story, a detail that a Beta pointed out to me and I could have SWORN I fixed immediately *bangs head on desk in despair*
