Hodgepodge Challenge — No 8
The blind can see — differently! — Themed Challenge

Happy “hump day!”
This is your last November Hodgepodge Challenges with a special bonus to boost your points — can you take/keep the lead?? Pull up your britches and let’s start writing!
You may partake in any of the challenges at any time. Tag me and I will add your story to that month’s line-up! Points will be awarded only during the current month’s challenge.
Who doesn’t love a good provocation to get the creative juices flowing?!
Writing prompt choices
(1 point each or 2 points for using both):
- Someone blind can see — but not as you do. What do they see and how?
- Someone‘s delirious ramblings are premonitions that come to pass!
Elements to include
(1 point each):
- An insect(s) of your choice
- A feast (real or mirage)
- You put a saddle on something — not a horse or camel!
- A vehicle of your choosing (anything with wheels!)
- Your landscape has magical properties (looks like one thing but reality is something completely different!)
(2 points):
- The characters are anthropomorphic — (ascribing human characteristics to nonhuman things)
Bonus: 1 point for each compound word you take apart into something more exciting! Ex: Housefly = house sized fly! Up to 5 points available for 5 different break downs!
Ground Rules
- Use one or both prompt choices.
- Include as many elements as possible.
- Try to keep submissions between 100 and 1,000 words.
- Tag me so I can read your story and add it to the next publication!
- Challenge your fellow (competitive) writers!
- Publish where you choose but consider The Fictioneer’s Treasure Trove.
Please list your prompts and elements (shortened)in a box like this. (Ctrl + Alt + 6) Thank you!I extend this challenge to John Fanidis, Jessica Frayne and Mike Hickman — I hope you have time to rise to the challenge!
