I've not been writing all that much recently, so was unsure whether the spark would hit me this weekend. Luckily I managed to put together something I'm pretty pleased with. Excited to read everyone's stories in a few days!

G6: romance/snooping/a board game


A Game of Go


In a well-to-do household in early 19th Century Kyoto, Naoko and her brother’s dashing young tutor Ikuro must play the game right if they are to end up together.

I think this one may fall into better concept than execution category. 

Group 19: Drama/Complimenting/Popcorn

[REDACTED]


A sex trafficking survivor exacts revenge on her abuser, who seeks to become the nation’s next president.

I wasn't sure if I'd get there but I ended up liking this! 

Group 11: sci-fi/spraying/a bulldozer 

Protocol Blue

Synopsis: When Protocol Blue engages, Elayn fights to leave proof that life—hers or otherwise—still breathes below. Earth was supposed to kill them, but it might just be the system that does.

This wrote itself, but then I spent hours nitpicking. Not unhappy with it, though!

G12: Romantic Comedy | Auditioning | A vacuum cleaner

The was a struggle. I am not a Sci-Fi.

G8: Sci-Fi | Reheating | Toothpaste


REHEAT

On a failing starship, Chen diverts the last power to reheat her cryo-frozen partner, sealing a cracked chamber with the final squeeze of mint toothpaste. As the countdown tolls and the microwave rings like a ruined-church bell, she chooses one brief, sacred breath over survival.

G13: Ghost Story/Preventing/A handbook

Looking forward to reading everyone's stories. Here's my (clunky) synopsis. Mixed feelings about the story itself but nothing new there! LOL

The Nameless Dead
One of the nameless dead in the Fontanelle Cemetery is prevented from entering the afterlife unless someone adopts them and prays for their soul.
