Interesting challenge, but my current story is not yet a week into a "not quite apocalypse" event and is at 53,000 words. Not sure what I could write that was less than 3 chapters in length. That would require some thought...

Yeah, The Layover story is out.

I tried writing for that, but could not keep the story from needing to be full length.
