That's quite a teaser, isn't it?

I do not mean that there will be no challenge after "What?", but I am preparing a non picture based challenge. Thsi is early warning that I will be looking for a tale that starts in darkness and shows redemption, recovery.

Sometimes we need to move away from pictures of puppies and kittens on the lids of boxes of chocolates.

I think this will be a difficult challenge. I think some of the usual entrants will relish it more than others. Some will be discomfitted by it. Ideally so should the readership, yet without alienating it.

Have a look at Recovery. It's time to look for inspiration.

So, now that the polls for "What?" are closed, have you decided on what the next challenge after "Recovery" will be?

I'm mulling over a picture vs a concept right now
