For once, Megan and I wrote stories along very similar lines: we both came up with a heist scenario of sorts, though hers was a “plant something” heist and mine was a “steal something” heist. I suppose that’s not altogether unexpected, given our prompt:
- Character: Programmer
- Object: Coat
- Genre/Tone: Action
Neither of us are fans of explosion-heavy shoot-em-ups, so it makes sense that “Action” would send us both to a heist story.
I also couldn’t resist tossing a little sci-fi element in there. I don’t know why, but I always enjoy a story with a touch of the wondrous in it.
Hope you enjoy our stories this week! Please let us know what works, and what might be improved. And if you wrote anything with this exercise yourself, please share it (or a link to it) in the comments!
