<a href="http://theidiomatic.com/"><strong>The Idiomatic</strong></a>.<br />
I love it. It basically mashes up a couple-few idioms into something
new and very possibly inane, and very possibly wise. (Example: “God
shouldn’t cross the bridge till you come to it.” What does that mean? I
don’t know! But damnit, I like it.) It forms the backbone of today’s
fiction challenge.<br />
Click it. Get a fake mash-up idiom you like. (Re-clicks are fine, obviously.)<br />
Then use it in a story.<br />
That’s it.<br />
<strong>Length</strong>: ~1000 words<br />
<strong>Due by</strong>: Friday, September 2nd, noon EST (holy shit, it’ll be September soon, you guys)<br />
Write it at your online space, link to it in the comments, and voila.<br />

Daddy! Miss Jako said my handwriting is better! I got a gold star! Look, Daddy!” Lucy’s babbling suddenly becomes a high-pitched shriek of absolute terror. I find her in the living room, sobbing and scrambling away from the sofa where Dad is sleeping by the beer cans and the cigarette butts.</span></div>
