Another Friday… Welcome to Microcosms 50, the final competitive post of 2016.
It’s Friday, 16 December, so this week’s contest is based on a film you will all be familiar with – the 2002 Hindi action spy thriller… 16 December… No? Oh well, that’s why they invented Wikipedia.Geoff
(If you have an idea for a future contest and would like to be guest host, please contact me.)
Our contest begins with three things: character, setting and genre.
We spun, and our three elements are – character: Terrorist, setting: Satellite, and genre: Sci-Fi.
Write a story using those OR feel free to click on the “Spin!” button, and the slot machine will come up with a new set – you can keep clicking until you have a set of elements that inspire you. Be sure to include which three elements you’re using.
