Our hero, Alec, is an ugly, rifle-wielding thief, in love.
Seeking secretly to preserve another from danger, he foils a guilty plotter and defeats a subtle plot.
Setting: traveling cross-country
- A soldier-of-fortune, willing to do anything for a price.
- Venomous spiders, used as weapons by a stealthy assassin.
- The black sheep of a family of otherwise unimpeachable reputation.
- A fierce sandstorm, howling across the desert with seemingly malevolent intent.
Prompt rules:
- It's going to be weird. It's pulp! Embrace the oddity and the strange juxtapositions! Use what works. Throw out what doesn’t fit.
- No, seriously, don't think too much about it. None of it is plausible; half of it isn't even possible. Just write!
- Why are you still here? The deadline is next week! Get writing!
Pulp prompts are a custom blend of Plotto, TVTropes, and Abulafia Oracles, with a dash of Lester Dent for spice.
