Challenge 267:
POISON

It’s just an innocent little cup of coffee. Just a little extra sugar in your tea. Just a little brush across the back of the stamp, or something extra in the nail polish…

Some people say poison is a coward’s weapon. Other people just call it efficient. After all, why risk your life in a direct confrontation when you could sit back and let it happen at a safe distance? But poison’s hardly foolproof. Maybe someone saw it coming, and switched the cups. Maybe your target built up an unexpected resistance, or miraculously survived just long enough for an antidote. What’s a would-be poisoner to do? Try again? Escape the country while they still can?

Write a story about poison.

BONUS GOAL: “Isn’t that a little cliché?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 21 at 9:00PM EST.

Summary: Qhoroali takes Setsiana to a Sohanke timeline.
Notes: Gift wrap for Nyoacelya Lyuya. At some point I thought this segment might actually make the story pass the gender-reversed Bechdel test, but then the old man never wound up getting a name, and didn't wind up having a real conversation with Cyaru directly.

Challenge 266:
A WALK IN THE PARK

What could be easier? It’s just a nice stroll through the park. A relaxing summer evening, a crisp fall morning, an afternoon with the kids…

But maybe it’s not quite that simple. Maybe the weather’s out to get your characters – a relaxing walk is interrupted by rain, snow, or lightning. Maybe the park has been overrun with wild geese, and now you’re facing a gauntlet of angry birds just to get to the picnic tables. Or maybe no matter how hard your characters try, getting an afternoon off from saving the world just isn’t happening.

So how does their walk in the park go? Do they get to enjoy it?

Write a story about a walk in the park.

BONUS GOAL: Birdwatching

If your submission features birds (of any species), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 14 at 9:00PM EST.

Styles and Supplies: Panorama, Calendar Page (July 8: SCUD Day), Stickers ("There is a “Gospel of Judas” not found in the Bible that speaks of Judas as the only one of Jesus’ disciples who fully understood his teachings. He turned Jesus over to the Romans because Jesus asked him to."), Tempera (I used dailytarotdraw and got the Eight of Swords. Using the reversed meaning: "The 8 of Swords Reversed represents a release from the entrapment and self-imposed limitations that once plagued us. When this card appears reversed, it signifies newfound clarity, liberation, and the ability to break free from mental barriers. The negative thoughts and fears that once held us captive are now dissipating, giving way to a renewed sense of empowerment and freedom. The reversed 8 of Swords reminds us that we have the power to overcome our self-imposed restrictions and embrace a life filled with possibilities and growth. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and explore new horizons, knowing that we can navigate any challenges that come our way."), Novelty Bead (this image, given here)
Word Count: 1161

Warnings: None
Characters: Setsiana, Qhoroali
