Let's face it... readers enjoy drama. They don't want the drama to be real (they get enough of that in day-to-day life), but they like seeing someone else deal with similar - or worse problems than their own.
For today's prompt, take an already difficult situation, and make it worse. Then, try to write the main character clear of the trouble.
Have fun, and keep writing!
Prompt: Worst of Both Worlds
Why was it that after a mutiny, no one wanted to be captain? She glanced into Disposal, where the last brave leader was now so much mulch and gore. Ah, that was why. That might also explain why she'd been unanimously elected to replace the captain. If she did well by the crew, she'd keep her head (and her intestines). If not... well, there was always more room in Disposal.
