Okay, so today is Johnny Appleseed Day. For those of you not in the US, he is a historical figure who famously introduced apple trees to a significant part of the United States. (You can read more about him here.) And I mean, come on, who doesn’t love apples?
Anyways, I thought we’d use apples as our inspiration today. How, you ask? By including characters often associated with apples. To make things flexible, I’ve made the characters generic, rather than specific. For example, “progenitor” takes the place of “Adam and Eve”.

As usual, our contest will begin with three things: character, setting, and genre.
br>
We spun, and our three elements are character: shinigami, setting: luau, and genre: romance. Hahahahahaha Good luck.
br>
Feel free to write a story using those or spin a new set of your own. Be sure to include which three elements you’re using.
