Hint Fiction Contest: 20-Word Robot Meltdown Stories
Write an 20-word story about a robot “meltdown” of some kind. You may want to set your story on the beach, or in the middle of a terrible heatwave. Make us laugh if you can (I don’t know about you, but I could sure use a good chuckle these days). Be sure to give your stories lots of juicy conflict. As judge, I’m partial to stories with memorable titles.. Contest is free and open to everyone.
