Flash Fiction Challenge: Must Contain…

Last week’s challenge: Describing one thing ten ways.

This week’s pretty straight forward.

I’ve got two lists at the bottom. Pick (or randomly choose with dice or a random number generator) one from each list, then make sure your flash fiction contains each of those things.

That’s it. Easy-peasy, Ramona-and-Beezy.

You’ve got an upgraded 1500 words. Due in one week (March 14th). Post it at your online space of choice. Drop a link to your completed story in the comments below. Any genre.

Now, the lists…

Must Contain #1

A lover’s betrayal.
A dead body without a face.
A mysterious — perhaps even magical — photograph.
An antique gun.
A terminal illness.
An ancient tree.
A time machine.
A monster.
A faithful hound.
A talking cat.

Must Contain #2

A distant outpost.
An infernal bargain.
A pair of detectives.
A stolen treasure.
A forgotten manuscript.
An escaped prisoner.
A hard drive filled with secrets.
A plane or train ride.
A piece of lost technology.
A comatose patient.
