FRIDAY FICTION: “The Challenge”

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention, please? You’ve been patient. You’ve been diligent. You’ve been loyal. Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears! The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose of excitement, adventure, and intrigue! People of the Net, without further delay, I present to you this week’s FRRRRRRRRRRIDAY FICTION!

*Cue music.*

Okay, folks, today I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news. The good news is we’re not releasing a Friday Fiction on a Saturday for once! *Laugh track.* The bad news is we’ll be postponing the next chapter of The Incredulous Galaxy Stalker by O.L. Percivall until next week. *Groan track.* Oh, can it. *Laugh track* I know, I know, it’s a real drag, but fear not, this week’s issue is anything but empty.

This time around, another old friend of ours, Dylan Alexander, creator of the Sci-Fi Bloggers original series, Path to Nowhere, has returned to the pen, crafting a tale that will surely blow you away. It’s filled with twists, turns, and an ending that ties everything together into a neat little knot at the end (not necessarily a positive one, but certainly a satisfying one). So, my friends, now that my introduction is out of the way, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s short story, brought to you free of charge, it’s…

…”The Challenge.” CLICK HERE to read.

All right, folks, that’s all for today. This is Fictionmonger telling you to keep calm and monger on.

Stories are important. Stories feed the mind and inspire the heart. They lift the spirit and challenge the imagination. They have the ability to predict what the future will be, and have the power to reveal the past in a light unseen before. Stories take people to worlds they thought never existed, worlds they thought couldn't exist. But they can, and they do. Stories make them a reality. Stories make them into truth. Don’t underestimate them (don’t tell me you haven’t before, we all have, even me). They are, collectively, the gateway to utopias, dystopias, kingdoms, planets and universes unlike anything on Earth—or, in some cases, all too much like Earth. Stories can wake people up from their brainwashed states and get them active in the world, doing things they wouldn't have had they not heard or read or seen them. Stories can save lives. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE STORIES, AND DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE THEM.
