Microcosms 102. Woo hoo!
Lots of interesting things happened today in history… the opening of Schindler’s List, Jean Paul Getty III was found in Italy, and famed bandleader Glenn Miller disappeared over the English Channel. All of those events are pretty intriguing to me, so I thought I’d use them all for inspiration.
Due to the late posting, the due date for this round will be 5:00 a.m., New York time, despite what it says below.
I’ve also included the “Your Choice” option once again. If you do use/choose the “Your Choice” option, please specify what it is that you’ve chosen.

We spun, and our three elements are – character: Someone Who Vanishes, setting: Airplane, and genre: Your Choice.
Remember, if you do use/choose the “Your Choice” option, please specify what it is that you’ve chosen.
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 – character, setting and genre. You can keep clicking until you have a set of elements that inspires you.
