Group 5: Mystery/Vandalism/A Mayor

Mackinac

A photojournalist travels to Mackinac (Mack-e-naw) Island on assignment to cover the annual Lilac festival, but instead uncovers a mystery that runs deeper in the roots.

8 pages was tough to get a rounded and concise story. Hope it worked. 5 pages will be even harder.

So many of these sound absolutely incredible. I cannot wait to dive in!

Here be mine:

Action/Adventure | Reputation | A groundskeeper

Dick Rogers Versus The Weed

Special Agent Dick Rogers, disguised as a groundsperson in a luxurious chateau, finds his mission compromised when thought-to-be-dead assassin, Pavla “The Weed” Zima, shows up to thwart his plans.

For those who have read some of my past submissions -- yup, I went with Dick... let's hope it doesn't bite me in the A.

Heat 8 - Historical Fiction / Plumber / Invasion

Blood in the Water

In 79 AD the Roman Emperor Titus demands to see a naval battle
inside the newly-completed Colosseum. His Chief Aqueduct Engineer
is tasked with delivering the spectacle... at any cost.

(I completely cheat the invasion prompt...)


Thanks to Mr Howe on this very board for putting the Ancient Rome idea in my head; it reminded me of something I'd learned about the Colosseum in school which seemed a stretch back then, and it turns out is still the subject of debate today. 

The result was a really fascinating and uncharacteristically thorough research phase... which I put straight into a Game of Thrones schemes-and-gore fest. 

And a story credit is yours, Jeffrey, when it's filmed by Ridley Scott.

Outbreak

When a deadly parasite invades the water supply of a Chicago hotel, greed leads a powerful man to keep the threat a secret.  Will a quiet plumber find the courage to speak up and stop this invisible killer?

Well, we didn't take the same path to say the least! Really looking forward to it Smile

Group 10: Thriller, a back-up plan, a financial planner

Clean Intentions

When a simple job goes wrong, the brains behind a Colorado counterfeit gang takes off with the product. What she doesn’t know is her partners are alive, free — and looking for her.

Enjoyed this one. Let's hope that stays true when I reread in two weeks...

Big thanks to betas! Especially when I sent them the wrong version and they gave proper good feedback on a half-assed 'first draft' anyway Cool
