Rhabbi,
It was an interesting interpretations of what I assigned. Consider the ice sheet broken.
Now let's return to your interests, (put down that camera)
I believe I mentioned an admiration for SciFi but a tendency to cringe at the blurring of genres.
So here's something nice and simple. How would you like to write a short tale of a Scifi/pirate/ghost story. be sure to include;
1 damsel in distress,
1 heroic ghost,
a horde of truly nasty pirates.
Bondage and misery would be lovely additions as would ray-guns and space ships.
Just be sure to make the whole thing as believable as possible and let bloody arrogance lead to the downfall of the villain(s).
P.S. try and stay under 1500 words OK.
