"The Anti-Valentine Challenge -- on the 14th write about fights, divorces, serial killers whose idea of a date leaves no survivors, and grumpy singles who can't get a lover."

(This idea was via Nonny in the sffmuse chat.)

Kayara suggested a February challenge in general, but I figure this can fit into that.

Basic idea: Write story (finished by or on the 14th) and post it in the genre thread that fits it, link to it from here.

Yeah, I couldn't think of anything to write about. But I generally suck at short stories so that's not a total surprise...

I had two stories competing with each other in the same story; thus, neither turned out right.
