Original challenge prompt:
I'll update the post throughout the day (after I wake up from sleeping) with completed stories, and then you can read them! YAY! And don't forget to feedback your friendly neighborhood authors. (If you're not going to have a story done today, that's totally okay; just comment when you get it posted, and I'll update the post as soon as I can. Unlike (later) today, I will not be spending every day from here on out parked on the couch watching basketball for 12 straight hours. Just, uh. Today. And tomorrow.)
