Ficlets

The Un-Ficlet Challenge

Imagine a world you enter when you sleep, a dream world. Only in this dream world, you’ve got company. Some percentage of the population has begun sharing the same dreams, people from major geographic regions all showing up in dream cities.
You don’t look like yourself. No one looks like themselves. You look human, two arms, two legs and all that. But some people have orange skin, or blue hair, or strange markings. You’re dressed but don’t know where the clothes come from. You’re not sure why you look the way you do. You certainly didn’t choose it.
Here’s the challenge, who would wind up in such a place? How would they look different in the dream from real life? What would you do if you had 7-8 hours in a dream city filled with anonymous strangers to do whatever you wanted? How would this affect your real life? It’s an un-challenge, cause it’s not a story, just character sketches, so feel free to sequel, prequel, or put ‘reverie’ as a tag. Just brainstorming for a larger project.
