midweek missed connections
Welcome to Midweek Missed Connections – the place where you get to write the enhanced account of that special someone you saw…and fantasized about…and never saw again.
Inspiration
Jessica wrote a terrific post last week about a missed connection on the Tube and all the marvelous thoughts going through her head. It made me think there should be a Missed Connections Plus section on Craig’s List where you get to lay out all your fantasies in addition to the basics. Then there is the fact that it’s such a long week between Ang’s Microfantasy Monday and Flash Fiction Friday. So, in the spirit of reaching out to new people, and submitting to the limits of a new genre, here you go:
The Challenge
Write a piece in the style of Craig’s List Missed Connections detailing not only who you were and who he/she was, but also what was running through your mind as you watched your target, or after you parted. Fiction? Non-fiction? Who will know for sure? Keep it under 250 words and post the link here or on Twitter (@caseydamnmorgan) anytime Wednesday. If you need inspiration, a setting will be supplied each week, optional of course.
This week’s setting: church.
Spread the word and have fun!
