The One Week Challenge is a writing exercise wherein one is given a week to write a short script based on a writing prompt. This month,

“What if..?”

It’s an ordinary day, you’re minding your own business when, without even thinking, you do a good deed for someone. Something selfless. Simple. Maybe you paid it forward. Maybe you helped an old lady across the street. Whatever it is, you left someone better than when you found them. Now—

“What if..?”

The powers that be of the universe take notice of your good deed and decide, somehow, some way, to return the favor by offering you a gift. A gift of extraordinary proportions. A superpower.

“What if?”

After you’ve done your good deed and received your chosen superpower, this day, of all days, just happens to be the day the world is going to end. A disaster of cataclysmic magnitude is hours, maybe minutes, away, and you’re literally the only one who can stop it, and you must stop it with your newfound power. So…

What are you going to do?
