SALT AND LIGHT

Inspired by a true story, two lighthouse keepers' relationship frays when their third companion dies, leaving them and their sins to fester in the new solitude.

I wanted "Rock of Ages" but Tom Cruise ruined that for me.

*thaaaanks Toooommmmm*

Ahh sounds so good!!!

Had a lot of fun with this one!! Looking forward to sharing, even if the judges hate it.

When the details of a murder become all too familiar, a spirit guiding the recently deceased to the afterlife decides to take a detour.

An Apple for the Boatman

When you accept a challenge from a formidable rival in an attempt to save your loved ones, the last thing you need is a swarm of ghosts up your nose. But this mother and grandmother has until the next full moon to fulfil her task, and nothing's going to stop her.

I know you were stuck for ideas but this sounds fab! Bad-ass granster story here we gooo

16 - Sci Fi/Jury Duty/A Business Man

Sequestration

A juror's stubbornness means a violent criminal goes free. But is the system broken, or are humans?





I looked at my prompts and thought 'ugh', but actually enjoyed it in the end.  I had some amazing betas... thanks!

Group 35 - political satire/embellishing/a bodyguard


Avocadon't

What happens if the US-Mexican border gets shut down? America will lose its avocado supply, and when that happens, Midwest soccer moms might literally die.
