Weekly Prompt: Oh Damn! Now What?

This week our MICE Story Type is Event — Disaster Time!

Welcome to the fourth weekly challenge for November, where the theme is:

November Theme: All Hail the MICE!

The aim this month is to help you try out the four different story types to learn how they work and see which ones you most like.

Oh Damn! Now What?

What that title should inspire in your mind is an event or an occurrence that disturbs the status quo.

The happy little village is no longer happy.

If you’ve seen the opening episode of the Wheel of Time, you know what I mean. A massive, traumatic event has upset their lives, changed their community forever, and they will spend the rest of the story trying to find a new balance.

A new normal.

Think of disaster movies. Anything with an earthquake, volcano or a flaming asteroid screaming toward Earth and only Bruce Willis, with backing vocals by Steven Tyler, can save us.
