The sirens sounded, she blinked, and bluetime started. "Oh, no," she groaned. Usually there was enough warning to get to her reality shelter, but this time she was caught out in the street. not the actual street, which would be instant death since there were still drivers who hadn't made it home, but the sidewalk beside what had been a candy shop and what was now an extravagarium of orchids and Venus flytraps, all tinted in blue and frozen in movement. They would move with the waves, and she'd never be able to predict when a wave was coming--but it was still a wall between her and whatever might walk the streets in stop-motion that meant it was there one instant and gone the next, drawn from the imagination of the residents and powered by the blue, twisted into something beautiful or terrible or deadly.

Story Potential: Medium
Notes: Eh. Neat bit of description, could work well with something, or could end up incredibly cliched.
The chicken was the tastiest fried chicken she'd ever eaten, and she closed her eyes with bliss as her teeth broke through the crisp surface into the tender, juicy meat underneath. She felt her mouth water as she tasted the first few molecules of the breading.

"Daydreaming about fried chicken, again?" a voice interrupted her dream.

She opened her eyes and squinted up at her tormentor. "Damn it, Riley!" she shouted. "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, you shouldn't be interrupting the captain when she's off-shift and daydreaming. It's likely to be hazardous for your health, not to mention your prospects for promotion."

Riley grinned back down at her. "Aw, but--"

Story Potential:This one has...grown on me. High potential.
Notes: It's a sketch of an idea so far, but I'm thinking some sort of SF where the ability to control the daydreams is critical. Could be fun. Also, I am very amused by the excessively long title. If/when I write this, I may even keep it.
