Challenge 3
Unreliable Third
Write a fragment of a story from the POV of an unreliable narrator - third-person limited (or attached) narration.
Wordcount: 500 (+/- 10%)
Notes:
Usually, an unreliable narration is spoken in first person, so what happens when you give us a slightly detached, yet still unreliable narration? (Think Hitchock's movie Stage Fright) In third person unreliable narration, the readers will believe more of the lies, so see if you can present a deceptive character's perceptions as what he/she believes or wants to believe. You have to both believe the lie and show it to be a lie.
Good luck.

Challenge 2 - Restart
Imperative
Write a fragment of a story that is made up entirely of imperative commands, e.g. "Do this; do that; contemplate the rear end of the woman who is walking out of your life." This exercise will be a sort of second-person narration.
Wordcount: 500 (+/- 10%)
