A BLOG WHEREIN WE WAX RUEFUL UPON: THINGS A WORKING WRITER WONDERS ABOUT. THINGS A WONDERING WRITER WORKS ON. WONDER-FUL WRITERS. WRITER-LY WORKS. WRITING STRATEGIES THAT WORK. WORKS WE WISH WE'D WRITTEN. ROYALTIES WE WISH WE'D RECEIVED. WRITERS WHO EAT WONDER BREAD, WEAR WONDER BRAS, OR THINK THEY'RE WONDER WOMAN. WRITERS WHO ARE WONDERS OF THE WORLD, AT LEAST IN THE WONDERLAND OF THEIR OWN MINDS. IN WRITING, THE WONDERS NEVER CEASE. BUT THEN AGAIN, NEITHER DOES THE WORK.

FIVE-MINUTE FICTIONS: The Sleep Box
I was fascinated to some across this image of a Sleep Box, a little booth complete with wi-fi, a mattress, and sheets that are changed that may be findable in many public places someday. It was designed by architects Alexei Goryainov and Michail Krymov of Moscow's Arch Group to provide a safe sleeping space for people in emergency situations and a secure, hygienic rest spot for travelers in airports. All that real life stuff aside, they're little settings justing waiting for fiction.
So: take five minutes and write a little fiction about something that happens in, around, or because of a Sleep Box.
For extra credit, fit it into an existing genre: romance, erotica, sci-fi, mystery, thriller.
For extra-extra credit with a cherry on top, make it a Western.
