DID YOU KNOW? Stephen Hawkins, (yes, that Stephen Hawkins) hosted a "Time Traveler's Party" but didn't send out any invitations until after the party? It was a way for him to prove that it was impossible for traveling backwards in time. But, man, what would happen if someone actually did show up? Smells like inspiration to me. 

This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time. I’m your host, Eric M Hunter and I’ve been writing stories since I was a child.   There’s a million ways to start a story and you never know how it’s   going to turn out. It could be good or it could be really bad. So let’s see what happens.

I enjoy listening to podcasts (and, hey! Thanks for listening to this one. Tell a friend.) and 99% Invisible is one of my top ten listens. Always packed full of amazing content. Hats off y'all.

On their episode "Nukes" they tell the story of Roger Fisher, a man amongst many things, including implanting codes to a nuclear bomb by the heart of an American citizen. That way, for the President to launch a nuke, they will have to kill this innocent civilian to get the launch codes.

Crazy, right? I wonder what sort of story that could be?

I read to my oldest son every night and we have these Marvel "read-a-long" books. Sort of like a book on tape. It's pretty neat. One story called "Spider Man: The Danger of Doc Ock!" in which Spider Man comes toe to toe with Doctor Octavius for the first time.

On one page is a city scene where Spider Man is webbing away. In the background, is a strange fellow who becomes our protagonist in this week's story.

Every once and a while, I get gushy on a particular band that hit me at the right time during my life. "Parachute" is one of those bands in particular their debut album, Losing Sleep. 

The track "The Mess I Made" has brought on some inspiration that could turn deadly for a detective when a murder hits close to home.
