Self Sacrifice
This Challenge is inspired by the modernist classic, The Sun Also Rises. So, for this Challenge, we’re asking you to include a bull at any point in your story. Whether your bull makes an appearance in the streets of Madrid amidst 1920s matadors, or is just a pewter statue on the mantle in an old library, the remaining details are totally up to you. It can be real or fake, appear in art or in a dream — as long as it makes an appearance in your story, anything goes.

Dead Silence
Silence, a rare occurrence in this world. The silence weighed on my back almost like a heavy blanket. I found myself waking to dirt in my nose and mouth. How had I survived the attack? Taking a moment I turned and found that a piece of rubble had created a pocket for me. Gunpowder and smoke still choked my breath as I shifted up to get a better view around me. The crumpled buildings that usually hid soldiers or guerrillas were empty. The war had gone on far too long for the line between soldiers and guerrillas to remain clear. In the end there were no heroes, only people trying to survive or kill.
