Theft Story Challenge 2014

Never mind a good story idea...does anyone have power down in eastern USA to submit a story if they wanted?

Of course! We have a very resilient power grid here in my neck of the woods, especially since, "post-Sandy," they butchered every tree anywhere near a power line.

Hmmmm--perhaps...

There's a teenaged girl living on a farm in rural Kansas, unhappy with her home life, has her little dog taken from her by an evil woman, then runs away and meets up with a fortune teller...

At this point, something major in the plot would have to happen--probably the spanking part.

I haven't exactly worked out how that would occur, however, nor the stealing part either--except perhaps if she ended up wearing some article of clothing which she was accused of not having the right to possess, someone who'd wanted it herself might consider that to be 'stealing,' so to speak.

That's all I've got at the moment, the theft aspect is admittedly still a bit weak... --C.K.

I think the 'Theft' aspect is that you stole the plot!

Nay, have her steal some Silver Slippers. Maybe looting the corpse of a dead woman... YES! Talk about a plot twist! She steals the slippers and the woman's true heir (the dead woman's sister) tries to steal them back.

Or Silver Panties that have to be spanked off her - that might work better.

Ummmm, a pair of "Silver Slippers" is an article of clothing, isn't it?

If you don't believe me, just ask William Jennings Bryan... --C.K.

All very good ideas. With a little plot development an author might make something of them.

True - so I stole an idea from you...

Speaking of that story, have you ever seen the Oz remake called Tin Man? If you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iliVi8Yuevo and check out the 40:18 point, you'll never think of "Let loose the monkeys" the same way again.

I tried, but he's dead. However, since he was a Democratic Presidential candidate and later Secretary of State, I'm asking Hilary Clinton instead.

In case anyone is wondering how to find the Challenge site.

On the home page, click on Features, slide down to Challenges and there it is.

Have fun and remember, commenting is fun...LOL
