Welcome to the third weekly challenge for May, where the theme is (Mis)representation.

As we said in the Monthly Theme announcement, the goal is to get you to focus more on the characters than would usually be the case with microfiction and flash fiction.

And once again, Zane and I continue to be impressed at how many great stories we have received on both of the previous prompts.

Choice Of Characters

So, for this week, we have a selection of people from the performing arts for you to pick from. Your challenge is to choose one of them and make that person the main character in your story:

• Singer

1. Feature one of the four performing artists listed above as your primary character.
2. Be exactly 100 words long, excluding the title, subtitle, and any post-story…
