Unexpected Adventures

An Unexpected Adventure...

Sometimes the every day and the mundane take a turn for the awesome. Or the disastrous, I suppose it's all a matter of perspective.

• Sometimes a trip to the grocery store ends in a robbery. And sometimes you end up the hero of the day, other times you get shot.

• Sometimes you're struck by lightning and end up with superpowers. And sometimes you end up in a coma (the permanent kind, not the Flash kind).

• Sometimes finding a bag of cocaine beside a dumpster on a rainy night ends with you selling that bag for a tidy profit. Other times you're pulled over at the next corner because you forgot to use your blinker and end up charged with possession and intent to distribute.

• Sometimes a one-eyed stranger with crows following him around hands you a sword and sends off on a noble quest. And sometimes that one-eyed stranger is just baked out of his mind and the crows are following him around because he has cheese in his coat pocket. Oh and the sword, it's a murder weapon. Congrats, you're implicated.

Suffice to say, a normal day is a fragile thing.

So, what does my obnoxious rambling have to do with anything? Well, this week's theme is called "Unexpected Adventures." Take a day in the life and turn it into a call to adventure, or, you know, don't. Invert it, subvert it...do whatever makes you happy.

But wait! There's MORE!

Not really. Go write stuff.

Here's how Theme Thursday works:

• Don't submit stories here, this post is just the announcement
