October’s Challenge

How on earth did we end up in October already?!  This year is disappearing right in front of my eyes!

Not only have I failed to complete September’s challenge (it’s a work in progress) but I am also starting October’s challenge late.

Another long short-story at 4,200 words which is a bit of a pain!  This time it’s science-fiction following the basic plot of re-birth which seems an easy one to interpret.  The age of man is justice (I’m aiming for middle-aged), the sin and virtue are gluttony and temperance and the story will be set in the Indian Ocean.  And somehow plumbing has to feature in it.  I’m sure this will be dead easy!  Help!
