Finally, I had written something for a challenge. Very short but I hope you'll like it. :)

Here's my second response. "Tool Time". It is also my very first story without Nick in it :)

I might use the "We met in a bar" or the dark and stormy night opening.

Wow. Five and a half years later, I'm finally thinking of something to write for this challenge. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of two story ideas. One for "dark and stormy night" and one for the Mothman opening. I might actually attempt a humor one for Mothman. Eep.

It's funny someone posted on here.  I was just looking through some of these old challenge threads over the weekend, thinking I could use a good challenge to get the creative juices flowing.  I have been writing every day in 2018, but I am moving at a sloth's pace on this novel I started; I literally have been working on the same chapter for over two weeks, and it's not even 3000 words long yet.  I have a terrible track record at completing challenges, but I've really enjoyed the ones I have done.  We should do an April Fool's challenge again this year; those are my favorite!

We can totally do one for April. We'll see if we can come up with something.
