Writers! Win 5 Steem in the 24 hour short story contest! Topic 2 for January 26.

The 24 hour short story challenge

I am fascinated by science fiction writer Harlen Ellison writing short stories in a book store window.  He wrote short stories with everyone watching for years, and people questioned if he already had the stories, so he began to take suggestions for topics from people watching.  

Chris Carter of X-files fame gave him the topic of a 102-year-old pregnant corpse, and he wrote a story based on that idea.

And congrats to @annhoyblog for winning the first contest.
