Born from the January Writing Challenge, I give you this short story, which the Title Gen has christened "Scattered". Below are the results from the Gens I used, though not all of the suggestions were incorporated. Archetypes: *Tinkerer* Bully Rich Guy Possible plot devices: The main character's work colleague *A large explosion* A blood-covered knife Plot premise: Hoping for some excitement, an opportunity presents itself to the main character when a long lost friend returns, asking them for help that that results in the destruction of the city centre. While Scattered sits as a stand-alone story now, it may end up being part one of several depending on how well I can work with it later, and if the other Gens have anything to do with it, it may end up taking some unexpected twists and turns before long. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy both Scattered and RanGen.co.uk.
