Writing Challenge: Gun In The Meat
Hello once again ladies and gents! I come to you this time with an open challenge. I have quite a few writer friends out there with many different styles and I’d like to see what they, and you, can come up with for this scenario.
I was just looking through the Weird News over at the Huffington Press, and I found a story that intrigued me. Have a look for yourself.

Gun Found In Package Of Frozen Ribs At New Mexico Store
From HuffingtonPost.com
ROSWELL, N.M. — New Mexico authorities say they’re puzzled by what turned up in a package of meat at a Roswell grocery store.
A worker at Albertsons opened a case of frozen ribs Wednesday and found a handgun and ammunition packed with the meat.
Roswell police Sgt. Jim Preston tells Albuquerque television station KRQE ( ) that it would be speculation to say how it got there.
Speculation, eh? That sounds like a job for someone with a creative imagination and a love to write! So, if you have any ideas as to how this gun got where it was, write it out! The crazier the better!
This is open to everyone who wants to partake. There’s no deadline and no awards for it, just write it out! How did the gun get into the frozen meat? If you write it up on your blog, respond to this with a link to it so everyone can check it out! Meanwhile I’ll get to work on my own and hopefully have it posted in a couple days!
