Lee Barnett gave other writers, and readers of his blog, a simple challenge... to challenge HIM.He requested: "reply with a title (no longer than four words) about which you'd like me to write a fast fiction of exactly 200 words, along with a word you want me to include in the tale." And the challenges arrived: Stories with titles like "She Killed Me Twice", "The Brain That Exploded", "The Pachyderm Wore Pink" and "Single White Fee Male" with words like "ranunculus", "vaginate" and "carronade".300 stories later, here for the first time in print are 180 of the best.
