This is a shamelessly expedient challenge intended only to publicise the Ficly Server Support Project, which is still a few dollars short, with a few days to go before the deadline.

Write a story that incorporates the words in the title of the challenge. Or the sense of them. Or the theme.

Then (assuming you’re not one of the 26 people that’s already done so) go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kplawver/the-ficly-server-support-project and share the love. Either pledge a few dollars or applaud generously for those that already have. The project only gets funded if it hits the $800 minimum by 1 September, and is already over 90% of the way there. You know what you need to do.
