It's the Return of The Song Story Challenge!

The rules are quite simple: Write a story, minimally 500 words with no maximum, using as your prompt the lyrics of a particular song.  The lyrics can inspire your tale, provide the setting for your tale or even be the background music of your tale.  I have made one change to the challenge: You will have a choice of two songs sung by one artist.  If you are feeling truly inspired, write two stories using both prompts!

I’m using this inaugural challenge to honor one of my favorite artists, David Bowie.  He certainly left his mark on the music world, now let’s see how he’ll impact the MFU fandom.  Here are your choices:

Posting for the challenge begins Thursday, March 17^th and runs through Saturday, March 19^th.  Please include the phrase “Song Story Challenge” and the month in the Subject field and the tag “song story” in the Tags field.

Happy writing!

For those who may not be able to view the videos, the songs are "Sound and Vision" by David Bowie and "Wild is the Wind" written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington as sung by David Bowie.
