Hey y'all. This story is part of @tygertyger's Electric Dreams short story contest. The prompt had three parts, all of which demanded some creativity from my part. It was a fun exercise.
- your protagonist is a contestant in a space age game show he/she/they/it have three challenges to overcome to win the grand prize. What are the challenges? The Prize is life altering and coveted by everyone on earth and our solar system. What is it ? Only 3 people in the history of this game show have completed the challenges and won. Will your protagonist win? Will /he /she/they/it lose and why? what are the consequences ?
- a platypus
- the story must include the sentence - “He put his tongue in my ear and offered me pancakes ”.
The following is the result. Thanks for reading.
Caro Goes To Space - A Short Scifi Story for Steemit!
By. T.Dalton
Caro opened the airlock and burst out into deep space. Hearing nothing but her own frantic gasps, she clenched the Mirror of Ages.

It was enough to know that once she put her genes down on the contract, there was no backing out. They killed you for that.
