Attention Authors: New MMSA Challenge - "Brat on the Plane&
quot;
By: David M. Katz Date: February 22, 2023, 1:52 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I was scrolling around on social media and bumped into some
click bait. I was supposed to read this little "story" and open
up to find out what happened. The story was never completed but
instead there was the typical barrage of ads. However, the thing
makes an absolutely superb MMSA writing prompt.
I present the "Brat on the Plane" Challenge. Use the following
verbiage in your story. It may be the opening or somewhere in
the text but it should be your inspiration. I left the age open.
(The click bait had Andrew at 17 but make him whatever age you
want.) I also think the relationship can be changed to other
than Dad. Also, change the name if you want. Just, please use
this verbiage to make the challenge consistent. (Age, name, and
relationship changes excepted.)
--------------------------------
"Hey, you." xx-year-old Andrew waved to the flight attendant
when he was flying home for the holidays after his first
semester of boarding school.
"How can I help you, sir?" the flight attendant smiled at him.
"You can get me something better to snack on than these
peanuts," Andrew threw the bag of peanuts at her/him.
The flight attendant's smile turned into a frown. "Sir, please
don't throw things at me."
"I'll do what I like," Andrew replied. "You're here to serve me,
so stop complaining and do your job."
The flight attendant walked away with her/his eyes downcast.
At that moment somebody placed a hand on Andrew's shoulder.
"Andrew?"
The boy recognized that voice. He turned and saw his dad
(headmaster/uncle/brother/best-friend/neighbor/teacher/mother/au
nt/boss/cousin/roommate/lover)
behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Andrew asked.
-----------------------------
Please note in your reviewer message that the story is for the
"Brat on the Plane" Challenge.
Have fun!
