And now, to the prompt: Syncronicity

Synchronicity is defined as a phenomenon in which people interpret two separate—and seemingly unrelated—experiences as being meaningfully intertwined, even though there is no evidence that one led to the other or that the two events are linked in any other causal way.

So, for example, you think about an old friend you haven't seen in years, and minutes later, your phone rings - guess who's on he line?

For this month's challenge we want you to write a story about synchronicity.

A few rules: 

Your story must be written in English and qualify as science fiction. It can be a maximum of 2000 words long.

Please publish the story on your Wattpad profile — either as a stand-alone story or a chapter in an existing anthology. Only one chapter, please.

To submit your entry, post the direct link to your story in the comments below this chapter so your fellow competitors can find your story and fill in this submission form in the inline comment here >>>>>

The time limit for submissions is Sunday, May 19th 2024, 23.59 UTC

Have fun!
