Can be about anything, 1-5 pages double spaced. Shorter scope is better than long. Crazy subject matter encouraged--someone did a modern version of a Disney story that involved raped that was received warmly. Help me spitball some more ideas: -gifted artist loses his creativity -a recovering addict whose substitute addiction (porn instead of alcohol or something) becomes equally destructive in his life -moar!
These two people man and woman hate each other, they eventually fall in love, but the man grows sick of her constant nagging and kills her in a tree blender, but she reforms and comes back to life, there's a massive battle with slow motion and stuff and she wins by eating his face off and feeding it to him. Just when we think all hope is lost ARNOLD SWATZANIGA shows up, but he's homesexual and is on her side, so..yeh it's over.
Giant weed smoking robot-ape attacks people and the only way to stop him is constantly get him high??? A++ no doubt

Sorry if that sounded mean. ha. I'm gonna do one about a guy who eats chinese food only to start tripping out when his boss tips him off via fortune cookie that the Feds are after him for a white collar crime he didn't commit. Suicide is then contemplated.
Man I don't have any ideas, but if you want to be inspired, read Philip K Dick's short stories. Just been reading them these last few days. A lot of sci-fi shit. He's the dude that wrote A Scanner Darkly; Minority Report; Blade Runner. I guess what I'm saying is if you want ideas you should read more short stories.
This is not my idea, but I'm sharing it because I think it's fucking sick. A friend of mine proposed it a while back to me: A guy notices a girl and starts to like her. He tries to talk to her and she keeps dodging him and denying dates. He eventually puts pieces together by observing her and realized that she can't hang out with him because she's secretly a super hero and is too busy fighting crime to spend time with him. At the end of the story, the audience learns that she's not a super hero and that he actually has a mental disorder that distorts his perception of reality, and she was just dodging him the whole time because of it. Maybe it's not as awesome as I think it is, I dunno.. but I like story lines like that and if it's well written the audience wont see it coming.
