Divine Act

            Surprising things happen. Sometimes they turn out to be good, oftentimes not-so-good.

Perhaps you had a hint that it might happen, but many times you don’t.

            Some people believe in miracles, in divine intervention, while others think things just happen, on their own.

            Your task is to write a story in which something unexpected and uncontrollable happens.

            Have fun with this one.

Divine Act

            Sometimes unexpected things happen. For no rhyme or reason, a gift arrives in the mail, no sender’s name included. Or perhaps your character is demoted and no explanation is offered.

            Perhaps it’s something uncontrollable, such as a major storm that shuts down the highway you intended to take, or it takes down a series of power poles in your neighborhood, robbing you of power.

            Are these occurrences some form of a divine act? Or are there other, logical explanations?

            Your task is to write a story in which something completely unexpected happens that borders on the bizarre. It needs to be impactful enough that your protagonist’s life is altered in a major way.

            Have fun with this one.
