100 Theme Challenge

I'm kicking myself into gear for the remainder of the holidays and will be participating in a 100 Theme Challenge.

What's that, you ask?

I have two lists of 100 simple themes. One is of circumstances and concepts, and the other is of emotions and emotional states.

I use a random number generator (this one - http://www.random.org/ ) to generate a number from 1 to 100, and then I look at my lists for those numbers. I now have two options to base the theme of my short piece of writing off!

The rules for this are few.

- You must take the first number you are given; no re-rolling allowed!

- However, if you've received a number you have already written about, feel free to click for another number.

- The pieces can be either story or poetry, and have no upper or lower limit. Feel free to complete some challenges with a story or a poem - all that matters is that you reach 100.

- For extra challenge, you can add a 500 word minimum to your stories, or a similarly paced minimum to your poetry.

- Have fun!

Use your theme as a jumping-off point. Remember you can take it as literally, ironically, or metaphorically as you'd like.

Here are the lists... Prepare for major scrollage.
