Here's a headline that got me thinking:

Naked Mom Ate Ice Cream, Ditched Kids After Car Crash | Reuters

Material for a story?

The game will be to find other headlines that, no matter how bizarre, might actually give you ideas for your fiction.

This is not a make-up-a-headline game. Only real headlines will be accepted by your friendly thread-starter.

(But feel free to comment on headlines posted by others, and perhaps to give us a taste of a story you might write, inspired by a headline. ;))

Here's real one from where currently live... a year ago:

"Meatball sandwich horseplay leads to two deaths, family betrayal, two trials"

Seems to be a lot of room for a story there.

Well, this summer has brought us naked bathsalts zombies, a bisexual Canadian pornstar necrophiliac, and now, a NASCAR mummy.

Weekly World News is seriously gonna have to step shit up. The bar has been raised.

It reminds me of a rather unpleasant short story by someone (but I can't remember now by whom, perhaps having selective amnesia over this subject - the alleged motive was rather similar, in the story, to the one described there

).
