ADMIN POST: The Documentation Challenge.

The Documentation Challenge.
This one comes to us from LauraKaye. Write a story that is either in the form of or prominantly features some kind of document (e.g. case report, traffic ticket, personnel evaluation, pizza delivery log, diary or journal, letter, phone bill, deposition or transcript...)

It's Monday by my watch--stories are due next Monday before midnight.

(And while I have your attention--I need more challenges, people! Submit those challenges! Put 'em in the comments, send me an email, buttonhole me at the bar and say, "Ces, ol' buddy, ol' pal--I'm picturing a challenge with a leather harness, an egg time, and a kazoo...." Put all these great minds to work for YOU!)

Hmmm. Challenges.

Well, off the top of my head...some of these are kind of goofy. *g*

A dialogue-only challenge, wherein there can be no description or narrative of any sort - only dialogue between any two characters (more than two, and it gets a wee bit confusing).

A darkness challenge, wherein the entire story takes place in total darkness in the location of the writer's choice.

A POV challenge, wherein the person whose POV we're treated to in the drabble is either a supporting character, an original character or an inanimate object.

A 'five minutes after' challenge - five minutes after Ray and Fraser ride off into the sunset, what happens? Five minutes after they patch their friendship up on the deck of the Bounty, what happens? Five minutes after Vecchio walks out of the station on his way to his undercover assignment, what happens? That kind of thing.

A 'planes, trains and automobiles' challenge, wherein the action takes place on some mode of transportation.

to clarify...

I should say, no external description, other than what's revealed in the dialogue.
