Challenge 274:
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
It wasn’t the end...but it sure was close.

For a lot of characters, close calls are pretty common – whether they’re fighting dragons, visiting aliens, or traveling through magic wastelands, they deal with a lot of dangers. But even then, actual near-death experiences are pretty rare.

What happened? Did your characters witness some kind of afterlife, or something else entirely, or nothing at all? How did they survive?

Write a story about a near-death experience.

BONUS GOAL: “Please, stay with me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, September 22 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 274 – near-death experience
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

Another week has passed us by and some of us might still be stampeding, some of us might be stepping more cautiously or even hobbling along struggling (like me) trying to balance out other commitments and squeeze in a few blasts of time to catch up.

If you've been using the table and tackling something each day, feel free to tell us all about it this week. If not here's the table and pick up with today's (or any other day that suits) and tell us about it when you can - use this post until I manage to get up to speed enough to make another one.

Wishing you well for the next week ahead and remember the aim of the month's challenges is that most can be adapted to fit what you need so if it says a 'flat surface', any type of flat surface will do - desks, worktops, floors, tables and so on. Similarly a vertical surface could be a window, a tiled wall, mirror or door. Part of the challenge is deciding how to apply the daily challenge (ha ha!).

This is supposed to be a low-stress challenge - if you miss a day, it doesn't matter, if the day's challenge doesn't suit, repeat the day before or start on the next day's. With the exception of two days, the challenges should take about 10 minutes, if you want to spend longer that's great, judge by your personal available time and energy.

To make it easier to take part and not be held up by time differences and days when I'm not able to post, all challenges will be posted in the table below the cut to aid both those taking part and the daily poster.

My biggest request for the month is that, whenever you can, you join in the chat - even if you haven't done the day's challenge come and cheer for others. We're here for the ups and downs this month so you can tell us when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes.

Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )

And so today's challenge is, depending on where/when you are reading this (but I'll go with the 17th/18th) to either spend 10 minutes on a flat surface or on a vertical one.

Good luck and enjoy what's left of your September.

Title: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Author: Becky Chambers
Genre: Sci-fi

Last night I finished Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, a sci-fi book about a motley crew of spacefarers who "drill" wormholes to enable rapid travel across space for the diverse galactic alliance known as the GC. At the start of the book, they are offered a bid on a particularly difficult, lucrative job, and can't resist taking the bait.

This should be (another) lesson to me in not going all-in on a creator because I've enjoyed one of their works. I loved Chambers' To Be Taught, if Fortunate, and I've heard plenty of internet praise for The Long Way, so when I saw it at the bookstore recently, I dropped $20 on it readily. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have bothered finishing it.

First - if you picked up this book looking for the femslash, it's barely there, and it's a lot more friends-with-benefits than romance. The other two romances in the book get a lot more attention. This isn't a complaint from me, but if what you really want is F/F romance, it's not really here.

This is a character-driven book with barely a plot, which wouldn't be a problem if the characters were interesting. As it is, they are functionally interchangeable: a crew of people who are all optimistic, friendly, emotionally open, painstakingly polite, and obsessively well-intentioned (except for the one guy who's a Jerk, who exists to be a jerk whenever the scene calls for someone who needs to be less-than-fanatically-polite or there's a chance for Chambers to squeeze in another instance of his being a jerk, even when he's technically right). There is no character growth to speak of; none of these characters changes at all between the start of the book and the end. There's no complexity to anyone.
