Challenge 240: FUTURE

n. a time that is to come What do your characters think about the future? Maybe by our standards they already live in the future – traveling through space, or living on a very different Earth thanks to technology we haven’t developed yet – but they probably still have some idea of what they want things to look like, “someday”. Do they have hopes and dreams for that future? Have they been in survival mode so long it’s hard to imagine? Or has it never really occurred to them, because they like to live in the moment? If you asked them about their dream future, what would they say? Write a story about someone’s future. BONUS GOAL: Shining Stars If your submission features the stars, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, November 18 at 9:00PM EST. Please note that this will be a two-week challenge. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 240 – future • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here
