Challenge 009:
MISSED THE MARK

(idiom.) To be slightly or somewhat mistaken, incorrect, or inaccurate; to fail to achieve the result that was intended.

Sometimes despite our best efforts, we attempt something only to fail at it, or fail to have it recognized in the way we wanted or were hoping. At best this only results in a little embarrassment like telling an ill-timed joke, but other times it can have far-reaching consequences, like costing time, money, or even livelihood.

Write a story where someone tries and fails at something, and what consequences that carries for them.

BONUS GOAL: In The Mirror

If your submission contains reference to a mirror reflection, that entry will earn an extra point to be tallied during voting!

Challenge ends Monday, March 4 at 9:00PM EST
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
