Hoo-whee, this month’s challenge was…challenging. But never you mind your pretty lil’ head over it because my trusty band of authors came through. Yee haw!
For October, I drew these cards: 8 of spades, 10 of hearts, and the 6 of diamonds. That meant the genre was Western, the setting was a museum, and the object that must appear in the story was a cracked pot!
And here are the stories from our authors:
- IaraWarriorfeather wrote The Great Dinosaur Robbery
- Jeff Baker wrote Lodovico Senarinz and his (Grandfather’s) Steam Powered Hyperdrive
- Jeffrey Ricker wrote Howdy Pardner
- EH Timms wrote Old Habits Die Hard
- and I wrote Showdown Over the Somewhat Okay Corral
The next draw is coming up on November 2, 2020. Two more to go for 2020!
Hope you can join us! Cheers!
