So what happens is that you pick a random noun or pronoun, and in the story, it has to evolve into something that though doesn't make sense, but could happen, like a tree evolving into a table overnight. Can be a poem or short story, no novels. PM me the stories/poems and I'll judge.

Prize:
Being called awesome and the evolutionist of this thread!

Deadline:
29th November 2010

Good Luck!!!

Yep. Any type of writing as long as it's not a novel… I won't exactly be bothered to read a whole 10 pages of solid writing...
