Well I've drawn "a bakery" in both of the last competitions (flash and short screenplay), so I'll go for the full house.

From 'homeschooling', 'bullying' and 'stranded' to 'a roll of undeveloped film', 'a hologram' and 'a map'! And I'm not sure what 'bait and switch' is... 

Truthfully, you'll find at least 3/4 of the people who post their assignments after they're given will be bemused, confused, and misused. I don't think there's any standardization, rhyme or reason to most of the prompts.

Horror / A writing competition / Other writers
Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

Political satire. Because that's what's in the queue for me. 

My pattern for last seven NYCM FFC or SSC:

2017 FFC: Political satire - sci fi
2018 Short Story: Sci Fi - Political Satire 
2018 FFC: Sci Fi - Political Satire - Sci Fi

... it's like one of those awful grammar school math problems. So. I'm ready.

I predict (with well-founded confidence) another miserable failure. I am in the happy position, at least, that it doesn’t really matter what they give me.

Doesn't matter what the prompts are. We all know my story will be about mermaids. XD
