The Friday Challenge - 6/5/09

Even lighter turnout this week. I hope this isn't a trend. As of the deadline, we have but two entries in the 5/29/09 Friday Challenge.

Henry, "Enslaving the Human Race for Dummies"

Vidad, "JoinMyGroup"

As always, even if you didn't submit an entry this week—even if you never submit entries in any week—you're invited to read, comment on, and vote for your favorite. Don't feel shy about leaving feedback on the authors' blogs, either. Writers thrive on knowing that someone out there is actually reading their words. The winner will be announced on Sunday.

And now for this week's Challenge:


The Grzelnorpian Conspiracy

---

Even though this apparently wasn't a barn-burner of an idea, I'm going to tempt fate and go with my planned next challenge anyway. The situation is still the same as in the 5/29/09 Friday Challenge, except that this time, the roles are reversed. You are now that character so beloved in pulp fiction: the one person who has accidentally learned the terrifying truth about the sinister Grzelnorpian Conspiracy to enslave the Earth! And now, as the doomsday clock slowly, agonizingly, inexorably, relentlessly—horribly!—ticks away the seconds counting down to invasion day, you must ask yourself:

What would Philip K. Dick do?


As always, we're playing by the ever-evolving but still not updated Official Rules of the Friday Challenge, and playing for whatever is behind the recently updated Door #3. The deadline for this challenge is midnight Central time, Thursday, 6/11/09.
