Five Elements Challenge
Challenge Details
Earth. Wind. Fire. Water. Shadow. Besides being the call to invoke Captain Planet (well, almost...) and the subjects of Cara Loup's vignette series, they are the five elements of classical Greek mythology.
They are the heart of Middle-earth and impacted everything in it. So write a drabble revolving around each of them; any subject, any age, any genre. The drabbles may form a series on a common theme, or they can be about topics as varied as your imagination can dream up.
Have at it! Challenge runs through all of March 2005.
(See this reference for more information about the elements in classical philosophy.)

- Fatty had his own set of difficult experiences and obstacles to overcome while the Four Travellers were off saving Middle-earth. Here are five drabbles about his experiences as part of the resistance movement and in the Lockholes, each focusing on one of the five elements (water, air, earth, fire, shadow). This series contains some violent imagery, especially in "Fire". I do not think this quite pushes the piece into "Adult" content, but please be aware that it exists. Foreign occupation is never pretty.
