Challenge 193: SURPRISE

Surprise! Is it a birthday party? An unexpected guest? A present? Or is it something more ominous – an ambush, an unwelcome visitor, a sudden change at work or at home? Surprises aren’t for everyone. Some people thrive on the unexpected and actively enjoy not knowing what’s coming next; other people respond to surprise birthday parties by hiding in the bathroom and always want to know exactly where they’re going on this road trip. When surprises go well, they’re great – but that doesn’t always work out! How do your characters feel about surprises? Do they like them? Are they the ones doing the surprising, or being surprised? Write a story about a surprise. BONUS GOAL: Present Tense If your submission is written in present tense, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
