Thanks guys!
Additionally, I think I am going to unabashedly steal this http://ourwritingtherapy.tumblr.com/post/135439311691/52-short-stories-in-52-weeks-52 week short story challenge from Delahada. Writing prompts like these are sort of what kickstarted my inspiration for Nic's story to begin with, so I think I'll try and keep it up and see if I can make it the year.
Feel free to steal it, take part, write a little, write a lot, whatever!
Now I just have to figure out what the heck I'm going to write for it...
