Entry is by invitation. Any member can sponsor a person and I or another admin will issue the invite.
Since I had some free time I went and took the challenge early. I wrote something totally different and in a genre I haven't written before, and I'm DYING to see if it worked.
But now I have to wait until Monday before anyone else sees it.

The trigger was pulled... and you fired your bullets. Some were right on target, and some were blanks. But you all tried.
However, some of the people reading, commenting and voting never saw the trigger. So, once the writing period is over, we post the trigger for their titillation (love that word).
Here it is.

OK, here's the trigger; it's an extract from Shriekback's lyrics for "Faded Flowers".
TRIGGER BEGINS
Use any one or more couplets from the following as the trigger for your story.
"These faded flowers Precious as memory
A veil of cloud Corrupt as energy
We had some good machines But they don't work no more
