I entered a short story competition that required me to write a 100 word short story in 24 hours. The story needed to meet three things, a genre (Sci-Fi), an event (Seeing a rainbow) and to use a certain word (Micro). It took me a while to find the right idea and to get it to work in a way I was happy with. But like the last time I entered something similar, I enjoyed the desire to find the story that sparked the right way for me. So, for the sake of creativity, here is 1 of the 24 rejected stories in a 100 word format..

“B-B-But I don’t understand. I-I-I don’t get it? H-How is it possible?” he says as he turns his pale clammy face towards him. “W-W-We h-had you beat!”
McLeod wickedly grins broadly and sticks his hands down his pants, then begins fondling himself gleefully. “A leprechaun’s treasure doesn’t always mean gold!”
