Away from humans and their poky metal objects, an underground community of a plethora of creatures set aside their differences for one week every other year to compete in their version of Olympic Games. Are you ready to witness a world where banshees commentate, minotaurs pride themselves in a fantastic version of shot-put, and dragons face off against chimeras in a fire-breathing contest? The Council of Fantastical Creatures invites you to see the games that no other human before has been permitted to know about. Grab some snacks, leave your camera at home (for secrecy of the Underground races), and prepare for the most epic Olympic Games on the planet. (Note: It is highly recommended to pick up a fire-proof poncho and large shield from any souvenir carts placed in various locations behind the stands of The Arena, just as an extra precaution.) *Entry for @Fantasy_Community's "The Olympics" challenge...so if it seems a bit rushed in places, that's because there's a 2,500 word maximum for the challenge.*

The zombie apocalypse started before you got your braces off? Great! That means you can relate! +++ Piper has only one wish in this world: have her teeth freed of these damn braces. Of course the zombie apocalypse decides to start the day her braces are meant to come off. (Zombies are so rude!) All she needs is an orthodontist without an appetite for brains. Travel companions, dancing zombies, and uncovering the scandal that started this mess are just added perks.

These are just some ideas that come to me that I write down, and don't know how to expand the story to a book length. I may, eventually, write a story that is book length for some of these short stories. Enjoy (I guess) Some of these stories aren't exactly always on the happy end of the spectrum. Sorry about that...
