Perdix is experiencing that condition that Baudelaire referred to as "spleen." Not much is going on here of late, after a burst of activity last week.
So here's a challenge: when nothing is happening, make something up. Specifically, I'd like to see some short stories, which can be posted in this thread, if anyone is interested. (If no one is interested, I can always delete this thread.)
I'm going to propose a theme: the short story should be set against a backdrop of some city you know well, projected 25-30 years in the future. The story shouldn't be "about" the changes that have taken place, but they should reflect those changes, and perhaps some aspect of those changes will lead to tension with what your protagonist is trying to do. It can be dystopian or utopian, as you please.
Length can be short-short (500 - 2000 words) up to novella (25-50K words), at your discretion. You own the rights, of course.
Anyone interested?
