@indonesia-phil saidHow about something escapist like Escape or Childhood Revisited?
I don't really mind, but voting would be harder in a free - for - all? I suggest we make it a thousand words max, it's a nice round figure, and have say, six titles for a vote.
My suggestion; The Mountain.
Which so far would give us;
A Dystopian Future
Happy Ending
Freewheel
The Mountain
But as I say, I'm easy whatever happens.

@indonesia-phil saidI've had an idea for the second one Childhood Revisited.
Which would be your preferred title?

@mike169 saidYou are always a threat in the competition sir! (Believe I have given you top marks for the last couple of years).
@Ponderable
I'm in with or without a theme. A theme is challenging but then just writing anything is a challenge!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAppears you are saying your aren't entering but you are thinking hard about doing so or you wouldn't be in here giving suggestions. 😉
How about a broad theme of 'making the best of things.' (Overcoming adversity).
(Inspired by my favorite quote, 'If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.' ).

just floating an impossible thought
i think i'll attempt, as it's prolly going to be impossible for me to do, but i shall write a mystery story encrypted
part of reading and understanding the story will be the decryption of said story
of course, now that i've revealed the deceptistory, the ghost will collude with the flash and my efforts will be dashed
i weep for my failure

@very-rusty saidAs I said, it would be great to 'read' lots of positive stories at this time.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOk, just seems like you are putting a lot of suggestions for someone who isn't going to be involved.

@very-rusty saidI had the privilege of choosing the theme last time, and I didn't participate. I agree with Goad's suggestion 'Escape'.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIt wasn't? What was your suggestion?
Excellent!
(Although 'escape' wasn't my suggestion). 😀
I was too quick reading the earlier posts: your suggestion was 'making the best of things.' Am I right this time? 🙂
