Thrillho:
I have a friend who works at Solaris (he's the editor-in-chief, I'M A PRETTY BIG DEAL) and he releases short story compendiums, and the themes are great ones. One of them is haunted houses, which I think we could all do something with. Doesn't even have to be horror, and another was the London Underground, although it doesn't HAVE to be London, Simon Bestwick did one about Manchester's doomed subway system (if you were to sum up Simon Bestwick's oeuvre, it would be with the words 'doomed' and 'Manchester') and there was one about the Paris Metro and the New York Subway.
J:
probably best to avoid things that are too geography specific.
Thrillho:
Well yeah, but the point was just that you could make it thematically about a tube train. Or even just a train.
Also I keep forgetting to reply to this at my PC because I read this on my phone so often.
Anyway I was talking to Unicorn and accidentally wrote a poem about something that happened to me:
'Last September.
It was weirdly warm but the leaves were falling
And I was just reflecting on how I live in this cozy little fucking town
But every one of these doors could have violence behind it.
And I ended up hallucinating blood dripping from the trees slightly
No idea why.
I was walking home from work.'
Zebediah:
I have a half-written story about a subway inspired by this challenge. It's the T in Boston instead of the London Underground, because that's the subway I know best. Hopefully I'll finish it and post it by tomorrow.
Thrillho:
Well shit, guys, shall we all just have a go at it then? Zebediah's making us all look like chumps!
