Challenge 268:
SLEEPING IN

It’s been a long week, and you are not getting up.

The world’s been saved once. It can wait until 10 AM to get saved a second time. Sure, there’s work to do, but it’ll still be there in another fifteen minutes. Maybe you promised your friends you’d meet them for lunch, but you still have plenty of time if you hit snooze just one more time…

Maybe there’s a reason your protagonist is so reluctant to get out of bed today – a particularly comfy bed, particularly good company, or a really late night. Or maybe they just feel like getting a little more sleep!

Write a story about sleeping in.

BONUS GOAL: Fluffy Kittens

If your submission features cats (of any age), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 28 at 9:00PM EST.

Challenge 267:
POISON

It’s just an innocent little cup of coffee. Just a little extra sugar in your tea. Just a little brush across the back of the stamp, or something extra in the nail polish…

Some people say poison is a coward’s weapon. Other people just call it efficient. After all, why risk your life in a direct confrontation when you could sit back and let it happen at a safe distance? But poison’s hardly foolproof. Maybe someone saw it coming, and switched the cups. Maybe your target built up an unexpected resistance, or miraculously survived just long enough for an antidote. What’s a would-be poisoner to do? Try again? Escape the country while they still can?

Write a story about poison.

BONUS GOAL: “Isn’t that a little cliché?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 21 at 9:00PM EST.
